Finally Back!

Well, it's been a while since my last post. I've had an interesting past couple of weeks to say the least. On the 16th, I woke up to excruciating neck and arm pain. After enduring as much pain as I possibly could, we ended up going to the ER where I had an MRI. The results showed I had a herniated disk in my neck. Dr. Metzger was ready to start cutting on me, however, not an option for me since I am pregnant. I got a shot which helped the pain tremendously and went back home where I stayed for 4 days except to go to physical therapy. I was able to go back to school on Thursday of last week. It was just good to get out of the house. Since then I have been to my last physical therapy appointment, where I learned the strength in my right hand is half of that of my left. That's the main concern right now. I go to Mobile next Wednesday for a 2nd opinion. I hope I can get some answers as to when I get my strength back and when this numbness will go away in my arm and thumb. Thanks for the prayers!! On top of that, baby is causing some sickness all during the day. Doesn't just happen in the morning, most of the time my sickness is at night. Last few days have been good though - no sickness!! Yea!!!!
Lots of stuff has happened over the last month, so I've got lots of pictures to post.

#2 is on the way!!

Well, for those of you who haven't heard yet.........I'm Pregnant!!!!! We went to the Dr. on Tuesday and had an ultrasound. Ty was so funny. When we showed him the baby he said, "I don't want a baby." Now, this little boy has been saying for months that he wanted a pink baby. Now that we are having one, he says he doesn't want one. After we talked to him about what all he would get to do with it, he was acting a little bit more excited. He wanted to know if the baby had on a blue shirt. Who knows?? Anyway, he was very excited to go to church last night and tell our exciting news. Baby is due in September. We got a looooooong way to go!! The Lord continues to bless our family!! He is so good to us!
