Today's Test!

I have a little cute story for you. We were all in the car driving home yesterday and I mentioned to Ryan that I am nervous about my blood work and being pregnant. Very happy, but nervous. Then Ethan yells from the backseat "Don't be nervous mommy, you have to be brave!" I need to follow his advice! What a cutie!

Yay for darker lines!!

Oh and remember...John 14:1

One day at a time. Enjoy that you are pregnant today. Tomorrow has enough troubles of its own.; June 28, 2009 at 11:29 AM
