Diabeties?

Tuesday I had to go into the doctors and go through at 3 hour test to see if I have Gestational Diabeties.  I did this once with Elizabeth, it is no fun but I was pretty sure it would come back negative.

After my 3 hours and 3 draws of blood I asked if they would call me with the results.  The nurse said that I would only be called if the test came back positive for Diabeties. 

Thursday after not sleeping well, having a 7:00 a.m. parent teacher conference and going grocery shopping and visiting teaching I came home to sleep and relax.  As I listenend to my messages I found that the doctors office had called to discuss my test results.  My heart sank.  I immediatly called the office which was closed for lunch.

I called Derek and cried.  I called my mom, who was grocery shopping and all she heard was hysterical sobbing.  After everyone trying to calm me down and tell me that it was going to be okay I got online to see what having Gestational Diabeties ment.

While reading about all the problems that could occur with my babay the phone rang, it was the doctors office.  I grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and went into the other room to concentrate on what would be said. 

The nurse wanted to let me know that I had passed the test and everything is fine.  I couldn't believe it but felt very blessed.

  1. I am so glad everything turned out well. I hate when I work myself up like that to realize that it was nothing. I can relate in many ways. The one thing I have learned and continue to relearn is that the Lord is watching over us and will help us with any situation. He will give us peace and comfort. I hope your pregnancy continues to go well! I love you and miss you and your family!
    Love,
    Suzanna

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P...

Lessons from Friends/Faith

I had a fun visit with some of our friends yesterday.  We talked a lot and I learned a lot.  At one point she said that she has to rely on the Savior and the Atonement to make up for the love that she cannot give her children.  She loves them but her weaknesses do not always show that and she prays that they will feel loved through the Atonement.  I loved that idea.  In my life right now I am functioning good but not perfect.  I need the Atonement to make up for what I cannot give my children right now.  She also talked about how important siblings are.  That in China one of the problems with only having one child is that there are no aunts, uncles, or cousins.  The family network is gone.  How as parents we may not be able to give our children all the love that we would like but they are still getting loved from their siblings.  That as children we fought with our siblings but now as adults we are closest to our siblings. ...

Anniversary Day 3/Weaknesses can Become Strengths

We slept in again, oh so nice.  We didn't leave the hotel until 11:00.  We went to a local pancake place and had a scruptious breakfast.  We then went in search of apple orchards as this area is known as Apple Country.  We ended up at a place called Grandad's Apples. I was in 7th heaven.  We bought a full bushel of apples and then more for making apple sauce.  I loved it. We then went to down town Ashville and bought chocolates at the Chocolate Feddish.  Mmmmm . . . Then we headed home.  It was a wonderful time to be together with my best friend.  I am so grateful to my loving Heavenly Father for helping us have such an enjoyable anniversary.  We felt truly loved and blessed by Him. We enjoyed our 15th Anniversary and are looking forward to an eternity more. . . Book of Mormon, Ether 12:27 "27  And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weak...
