"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

No I am not Pregnant!!!!!


Yeah that is my belly you are looking at! Okay so I know what you are thinking because I have had people tell me. I LOOK PREGNANT! I don't just look a little pregnant I look like I do when I am seven months maybe even eight months pregnant. But I am not pregnant so please don't ask me when the baby is due. I sure wished there was a baby in there but there isn't I had the Dr. check believe me. So why does my belly look like this when it normally is very flat. Well........I am not sure. I have not been feeling very good for quite a while and I have pericarditis which is fluid on the heart and they think maybe the fluid is now in my HUGE belly. I had an ultrasound done and it is showing a large amount of fluid with a lot of black shadows that they don't know about, it could be scar tissue from my c-sections. We just are not sure, but we do know its not okay. I have been having a lot of chest pains and pain in my belly. And this HUGE belly grew very fast. This is so frustrating to me. I have a special kind of CT scan on Tuesday to find out for sure what is going on and they drew 8 viles of blood today. So I hope and pray that it is nothing but if it is something it can be fixed very easily. So I am warning you family and friends I am a little bit sensitive to this matter if you see me at church or on Christmas don't ask when the baby is due :(
