Bee: Carrier of Wisdom, delicate physique

Solitude has its own very strange beauty to it ~ Liv Tyler It's been two weeks that I have been in the hospital. The nurses and doctors have been great and I have been able to find a few little areas outside to enjoy the weather. I love when my family comes to visit because it makes me feel more normal. I miss them like crazy. I am always creeping on them with our security cameras and baby camera in the boys' room. It makes me feel like I am with them! Solitude Lesson 1:  Being alone in a hospital gives me a small glimpse into how older people may feel when they are stuck in a nursing home. I remember when my grandmother was in a nursing home and I would see all the older people in the hallway and most of them looked so sad. I'm pretty sure they got lonely looking at the same people everyday and going to the same places everyday. If you have a parent or grandparent in a nursing home, go visit often; I am pretty sure it will raise their spirits!  Solitude Lesson 2:  I am a...

God has a way to flip things in our lives so that we can rely more on Him than any other thing in this world!  I'm so glad God is way bigger than what this world has to offer. If it wasn't for His grace, mercy, and love, I would be a lost soul!  Monday, May 8th, I had a high stess IEP meeting with parents, advocate and a facilitator that started at 7:15am and lasted until 11am. I had only drank my protein shake that morning at 7:15. I began to have a headache around 9:45 so I took medicine. After the meeting I tried to eat and rest, but the headache would not go away.  My doctor called and told me I had gestational  diabeties, so I figured I might have had low blood sugar. I eventually threw up at 130 so I packed my stuff up and went home to rest.  I called my mother to ask what to do for low blood sugar and headache and did what she suggested. At 4pm I took more medicine and my headache finally went away around 6:30. I ate dinner and went back to bed. The next ...

  The heart is a beautiful symbol and the most valuable organ in the body.  I love when God gently talks to us. Last month we went to Oak Island, since Joshua had to help coach the High School baseball team. While we were there, we went shopping. I found this wonderful Bee ornament. I had to get it. I was anxious about not having my OBGYN, Evey's heart issues, delivering at Duke and the discontinuation of Makena, the injection that helps me not go into preterm labor. There was a poem attached to the ornament and when I read it, I immediatly started crying. It was God's way of saying: "Don't worry, Evey will be ok and everything will work out the way it's supposed to be."  Over the past month, we have been going to lots of appointments and processing the transfer of my care over to Duke Hospital in Durham, NC. My husband and I are huge Duke fans and have been to the campus a few times. (FYI: Teachers get discounted tickets to football games!) We love the campus...
