I’ve had two very hard pregnancies, but I know that the Lord helped me through them. May is HG (Hyperemesis Gravidarum) Awareness Month, which is fitting since both of my HG babies were born in May. HG is extreme sickness during pregnancy. Unlike regular morning sickness, women with HG are rarely able to eat anything without nausea and excessive vomiting. While morning sickness is typically worse in the mornings and usually ends after the first trimester, HG lasts all day... Read more

Since becoming a mom, I have spent most of my Sundays in the hallways rather than sitting in the chapel.

As we continually end up outside the chapel, I have thought about this phrase and what it means... Read more
