The Dye Ah Bee Tiss
I was thinking today, as I do at times, about fear in the medical community. I was remembering back before I had my first babe. Back before I even got married. Remembering all the things I’d read and heard about…
Feeling like a room without a roof
I *think* the first trimester slump is coming to a close. Praise Jesus! The last few mornings I get up without feeling like I wanna die, I smile at my husband and even make him breakfast. This may not sound like…
