This last week Josh and I were in Iowa with his family visiting his grandparents. That was an interesting trip. His grandparents are very different people. It was hard being away from my family for Christmas. That was the first one that I have not been with them. I had fun going to the mall and watching National Treasure, but it just wasn't the same.
I found out my family didn't have that wonderful of a Christmas either. Jonathan ended up going to the hospital because he was so sick. His blood sugar was over 600 and he was throwing up a lot. He ended up going into the ICU overnight and left the hospital the next day. What a way to spend Christmas.
I guess more about me, this week was relatively good. Christmas night I had my first experience with morning sickness. Not at all fun. I absolutely hate throwing up. It lasted all day but the next day I was alright. I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with morning sickness all the time like my friends have. Today was not a very good day either, no throwing up, but the constant feeling of being sick really sucks.
To get really personal, yesterday I got a phone call from the Women's Clinic that I go to saying that my results from my pap test came back abnormal. The doctor believes that I have HPV which is a common sexual transmitted disease that may lead to cervical cancer. Yes, I made some stupid decisions before I got married but I know that I am forgiven by God, myself, and my husband. The nurse says that it's a mild case but we won't know for sure until the doctor checks me out on the 28th of January, the same day that I will be getting an ultrasound to see the baby. I've done some research about being pregnant while having HPV and overall it's okay. I can even have the baby naturally without harming the child.
All I know it that I am giving this whole thing up to God. He is the One in charge of my life and knows what He is doing. I just ask that you would pray for me and the pregnancy, that it will go safely and that the baby with be born healthy. Thank you.
