The Beginning And The End

This past week was a very hard week. Last Friday my grandma went into the hospital and my parents phoned and told us that we better come and see her because she wasn't expected to live long. So on Saturday my sister, brother and myself drove the 2 1/2 hour drive to Swift Current to see her. It was really hard to see her like that. It was especially hard because 2 weeks before that she had been in the hospital here and looked so much better. She was released from Saskatoon to go back home and live on her own again. So this latest news was quite shocking. Well, I won't make this long, but I just wanted to let everyone know that my grandma passed away on Wednesday. This Saturday was her funeral. It was very sad and just strange to think that she is not here anymore. She was a great woman and I spent lots of time with her growing up (she lived across the road from my family). I will miss her.
On the other end of things. I wanted to let everyone know that we are expecting our 3rd child. I am 3 months pregnant now and the baby is due December 12. I've been feeling fairly good. I was extremely tired at the beginning, but now that seems to have passed. Thank goodness! I also have problems with varicose veins and with every pregnancy I've noticed it earlier. I'm not looking forward to wearing the special stockings that I have to wear in the summer. But we are looking forward to having this baby. I think it gets more exciting as time passes. I heard the heart beat the other day so that is cool and just nice to know that the baby is doing good.

we're sorry to hear about your grandma - we were praying about it when you told us, and we'll keep praying for you and your family as you adjust and mourn her loss.
We also congratulate you (again) on the new pregnancy! We are so excited for you guys!!! :)

Hi Carolyn,

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Losing loved ones is hard. I am glad you got a chance to say goodbye. My grandmother died of a heartattack and we never got to say goodbye or tell her how loved she was.

Congradulations on the pregnancy! I hope your pregnancy continues to go well. I felt more tired with Kaleb then either of the girls. I don't know if that is because he was a boy or because I already had two to run around after and couldn't take naps.

Love
Natalie
