The report from the lab where they sent the blood from her nipple came back as abnormal. Not exactly sure that that means, but it isn’t just bleeding from the pressure of the tumor…it is abnormal…ugh. Not sure what to think about this. It didn’t look like cancer according to the radiologists report, but the blood results did come back as abnormal. Praying. She goes for the needle biopsy tomorrow. Hopefully we will know what is going on for sure then.

My 14 yr old sister just told my parents that she has a lump on her breast (1/3 of her breast is a lump!) and has been spotting off an on from her nipple since January! :/ I wish she told them earlier, but they got her in the to doc this morning. The doc squeezed her nipple and he was able to get enough blood out to run tests on. :cry And she is having a u/s of her breast at 1pm EST. We won’t have the results until the evening probably. Please pray for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now we figure (although I don’t think the docs have said it) that there are 4 options:
1–an infection (since January!)
2–an cyst
3–a benign tumor
4–a malignant tumor

Only one of those options is really bad…so we are praying for any of the other 3. And infection would be best probably because antibiotics would hopefully take care of it. Any of the other options may require surgery…or more…

UPDATE:
It is not an infection or a cyst as we were hoping. It is a solid mass. She goes to the biggest hospital in the state on Tuesday–5 hours away. Going to see her now…when my mom was calling I heard my sis tell me to come see her…and mom had sure I knew she said it. So I am on my way out the door. Tonight is her 8th grade graduation, but she isn’t up to going…until she got the results she still insisted she wanted to go. Pray please!

*Oh and after being at my family’s house I found out she hasn’t been bleeding since January.  She noticed a lump in January.  She talked to one of my sisters about it.  My sis told her some lumps are normal.  But the bleeding started recently.  She noticed she had dried blood in her bra, but didn’t actually know it was from her nipple at first.  She thought it might have been from a black fly bite or something.  But when it kept happening and more often she knew that something was up.

She is being strong considering…she is having faith that God is watching over her. She did break down while I was there though and cried on my shoulder for at least 20 minutes. I smoothed her hair, rubbed her back, and prayed for her. She isn’t going back to school–only tomorrowand Monday left, but she isn’t up to it right now and I don’t blame her at all. My sis who lives a few hours away will be up omorrow and Saturday. Kim will love that! Waiting for Tuesday….and praying….

Several inches. Whoa! Seriously a ton of snow!

Noah, Rachel, and Jackie all made it home safely. Thankfully! The kids and I were on our knees praying before they would travel in safety.

Dad is still at work though. He won’t be leaving for another 2.5-3.5 hours. I do hope that the roads are better by then, but I don’t know if they will be. The snow isn’t slowing down at all right now. So we will be praying that Dad/Opa travels safely as well.

So much for spring….the joys of living in this area…lol

Last night I read Sections 1-2.  These are the parts that really meant a lot to me this time:

D&C 1:2-3  For verily the voice of the Lord is unto all men, and there is none to escappe:  and there is no eye that shall not see, neither ear that shall not hear, neitehr heart that shall not be penetrated.  And the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and thier secret acts shall be revealed.”

So often we think that what we do, feel, think won’t be found out.  But that is just not true.  Firstly, God knows.  And we cannot ever hide these things from him.

D&C 1:10  “Unto the day when the Lord shall come to recompense unto every man according to his work, and measure to every man according to the measure which he has measured his fellow man.”

Humans have a tenancy to be very critical with one another.  To put others down to lift ourselves up.  But this is not the way the Lord has shown us to treat others nor is it the way he wants us to treat others, but it is the way in which we will be measured.

D&C 1:15-16  “For they have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant; They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of this own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world.”

Have I strayed farther than I should have?  Who do I seek?  The Lord and his righteousness or do I seek the world–some aspect of the world that to me may seem appealing.  Do I seek everlasting covenants or do I seek temporal pleasures and approval?

D&C1:31-33  For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.  Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven; And he that repents not, from him shall be taken even the light which he has received…”

I found it very interesting that this is one of the topics of my reading last night.  Belle had been asking me some questions about repentance.  A bit on Sunday, but a lot yesterday after she had hurt Ryllan.  She wanted to repent.  We talked about forgiveness.  And that to repent you must 1–acknowledge that what you did was wrong; 2–try to make it right the best you can; 3–ask for forgiveness; 4–try to never do that again.  She wasn’t sure she could never do it again.  I told her that we are asked to do the best we can to never do that again.  But God knows the intent of our hearts.  He knows if we are truly trying to do better.

I got a call this morning from my parents that Jackie was okay, but had lost control of her car because of ice. Her car fishtailed and and went off the road. The way it went of the road it ended up rolling over. She was hanging upside down–thankfully she was wearing a seatbelt. It took her some time but she was able to get herself out. Someone stopped and let her sit in his car where it was warm (very cold this morning) until the police, ambulance, and my parents arrived. She is very sore, but does seem to be uninjured. When I got off the phone with them I told the kids what happened and we immediately had a prayer of thanksgiving.

most of my pregnancy updates will probably go on there.

I weighed myself this morning and I am now 124 pounds. Whoa! A pound in 6 days and I am only 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant.

I am not going to worry too much about weight gain. I don’t *want* to gain a lot, but I am eating healthy already and I can’t exercise because of my incompetent cervix. I gained 50 pounds with Belle and 35 with Ryllan. I started at 118 with Belle ended about 168. I started at 111 with Ryllan and ended around 146. So I only gained 15 pounds less, but because I started out smaller I was 22 pounds less when I had him. I liked the mid 140’s much better than nearly 170. But since I am starting at 123 with this baby even if I only gain 25 pounds (hah! imagine that…it won’t happen…I will very likely gain more) I will still weigh more than I did at the end of Ry’s pg. I would be about 148. But having this baby is definitely worth having some extra weight that may never come off. Like after Ry…never lost the last 12 pounds. I will just continue to eat healthy.

I tested again on Saturday.  Two days after af was due to start.  Of course I already knew I was pg, but these are only $1 so….I took another!  I love seeing the test dark line.  I gave my 2 leftover pg tests to a sweet friend who is trying to get pg.  Prayers for her and her husband!

I called the midwives practice today to let them know that I am pregnant. Yes, me. Their patient with the big fat incompetent cervix. They want to start seeing me very early. I have an appointment in exactly a week. February 22nd. This is the nurse appointment. I don’t see the midwife. I get some stuff from them and she makes she I am pg and a few other preliminary things if I remember correctly. Then I will be making an appointment to see the midwife.I am already feeling round ligament pain. But so far my sacrum isn’t hurting at all.

I am soooooo elated! We all are in fact. Belle even cried with joy when she found out!

The test:

Measurements 2.14.07
waist–25.75  (it was only 23.5 when I got married!)
top of hips–34 inches
hips–38.25 inches  (only 36 when I got married)
weight–123 pounds (115 when married…111 before getting pg with Ry)

A pic from just a bit ago, we were hoping to be pg soon!
