this has been a hard week. hard. i've struggled everyday. i tried to wean myself off of one of my medications only to reassured that i need it and it is doing amazing work for my body and my family. my mom has been in south africa for the second week with my grandparents. i have selfishly missed her terribly. i've tried to not let on when i talk to her on the phone but my voice betrays me and gets shaky and and the tears just spill out. i've been an emotional wreck, allowed my kids to watch hideous amounts of tv and pretty much been the lamest mom ever over fall break. i haven't returned phone calls or edited countless pictures people are waiting for. i haven't scheduled the appointments i need to because my brain has been all over the place. like i said, not my best week.
this morning, my daddy showed up with a little box of patches for me. i have been fighting a migraine all day but even having those patches on for a few ours, i feel so much more stable and more capable. this has reminded me of the great blessings i've had this pregnancy. my husband. my children (who remind me why i'm doing this....and also why this is the last time:). my amazing caring parents. the medicine. the medicine saves my life everyday.
this week i've been reminded that heavenly father is mindful of me. he is watching me. and that things could be much worse. and that there are people out their doing much harder things than me and that i am grateful for this trial. ten weeks more.

He truly is mindful of us. I have had an truly difficult week, too, and it has reminded me of what really matters. 10 weeks to go...you can do it! :)
