You are such a strong person, ...I love you, Jenny. You are such a strong person, and always have been. I wish you every happiness, whatever you decide. <3 Personally, I have witnessed so many of my loved ones fall away from the church over the last few years, and it's been deeply painful. But I totally respect them and understand their concerns. They're valid concerns. I personally believe this falling away was prophesied. That we would be tested even as Abraham... that even the very elect could be deceived... and I remember, I wondered how that could possibly happen. And now it makes sense. With total access to the internet, full of truths, lies, and half-truths, etc... it's hard to know what to believe. But I'm hanging on to the simple and beautiful truths of the gospel, which I know to be true. I can't deny those sacred experiences when the spirit has confirmed to me the truthfulness of the gospel. You were actually a huge influence in my life in bringing me to these truths. During that time in my life, I was not living in a way that was congruent with the gospel, and it made it harder for me to feel the spirit and have faith. Things got foggy... I felt mists of darkness around me because of my choices. But you were a great influence and helped me see those basic truths so clearly because of the strength of your convictions. And I thank you for that. Love you Jenny.

I have prayed for this blessing and felt this same peace and sense of being an instrument in the Lord's hands during musical numbers in church. It is such a powerful thing when God answers those prayers.

But it was weird, I still wanted to try it. Of course, I didn't say anything. But I'm due in October with #2 so might be tandem nursing soon!

I signed up for free two-day shipping both ways with shoprunner (they do a free month trial, and when you try to cancel it they give you three more months for free). And then I ordered seven or eight bras in various sizes. It took me a couple of times ordering different sizes and brands, but I now have several bras that fit me perfectly. So it is possible to do it yourself without a fitting if you have a place that will do free two-day returns.Sarah Familiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066135894689500253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-13222518734921450202013-12-15T19:17:47.953-09:002013-12-15T19:17:47.953-09:00I'm part of a large ward in SW Indiana, and th...I'm part of a large ward in SW Indiana, and there are a few women who sometimes wear pants... and no one cares! I think it's great. However, part of what drew me to the church was the fact that people DO dress up for church. I'm a super casual person, so I thought I would really like those "come as you are" Protestant churches (I was Protestant at that point), but it just didn't feel right. I really don't like wearing dresses, but I also don't own any 'nice pants' just jeans...<br />Now, I know there are wards in different parts of the country who aren't as accepting... I guess that's the great thing about a ward where there are SO MANY converts :)<br />I'm sorry you are feeling marginalized by not having the priesthood in your home. My husband is not a member, and will most likely never be a member... I feel very accepted, however I do think many of the lessons taught only talk about that perfect family, and that can be hurtful. Through no fault of my own, I will likely never be sealed to my children in this lifetime.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269464228066647267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-10829756603937795632013-12-15T14:20:05.947-09:002013-12-15T14:20:05.947-09:00YES!!

My oldest is on the spectrum (which wasn't diagnosed until he was almost 7!) and his sleep was HORRID!!! I took him to a sleep psychologist when he was 3. Saw him 3 times and decided he was worthless.

In other words, hey, we have you in the office today, let's give you a shot while you're here in case you haven't kept current. They do not offer any particular reason for vaccinating during pregnancy beyond attempting to maintain boosters. <br />(Personally, I believe this is why they recommend all the shots for kids at such young ages too--because that's when they go in for well baby checks and because they do not trust us as parents to bring our kids in at extra/other times for shots.)<br /><br />Personally, I would not get any vaccine while pregnant. ANY vaccine. Because it WILL to go the baby. That's how pregnancy works--everything mom has will go to the baby. I DO get my tetanus boosters every ten years. I keep track of when I've gotten them and I go in when one is due--when I am NOT pregnant. <br />Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.com
