Tuesday, August 1, 1995 Laila is now 2 years and 7 months old. She is such a beautiful little girl. I wish Laila could talk more so I could better understand what it is she is dealing with and why she is having such a hard time. It’s hard to keep her dressed. She hates…

Tuesday, December 6, 1994 I could stay another 2 nights at the hospital, but I chose to go home because I knew Laila needed me. Before I left the hospital, the doctor told me that I couldn’t nurse Laila for 3 days from when Johny was born. But after that, I was fine to nurse…

Thursday, December 1, 1994 – Today is Johny’s due date. Last night I dreamt my grandmother came to me. She told me that she had special permission to come see me. She said, “Today, when you go to your doctor’s appointment, the doctor is going to tell you that everything looks good. He will reschedule…

Wednesday, September 7, 1994 When I started tending again, my next-door neighbor didn’t want to pay $10.00 a day. I knew her daughter *Conny. She was a sweet girl, so I said I would do it for $1.00 an hour like I used to. Dianne said she was a single mother and couldn’t afford that.…

Monday, December 6, 1993 Laila still doesn’t sleep, day or night. I am so tired! Every day I wake up wondering how I am going to make it through the day! If someone offered me a million dollars or one hour of sleep, it would be no contest! I would choose the hour of sleep!…

Monday, January 4, 1993 Just like all the other pregnancies, I didn’t feel well. The doctor told me to get vitamin B shots. It would help with the Nausea. I was excited to try it. It didn’t do a thing for me! I was so discouraged! I do what I can to take it easy.…

Tuesday, September 22, 1992 Last year, I had a lesson in Relief Society about not comparing yourself to others. The main point of the lesson was not to be so hard on yourself, because you always compare your worst to others’ best. On the board, the teacher had posted many inspiring quotes. For example, “Be…

 Friday, June 5, 1992 I am expecting again. The baby is due January 18, 1993. Jared and Sarah are excited about having a nother sibling. Hopefully, this time everything will be okay with my pregnancy. Saturday, September 19, 1992 I am about halfway through my pregnancy. We found it’s a girl. The doctor said everything…

Thursday, August 16, 1991 Jared was playing outside with his friend, who lived up the street. Jared came in to tell me there was a dead bird on the sidewalk. My first thought was to tell him not to touch it, but to leave it alone, and I would come out and put it in…

Tuesday, July 2, 1991 I am 3 months into my pregnancy. Since the doctor wants to keep a close eye on me, he has asked I come in for an ultrasound. I had my appointment in the evening so that Richard could watch Jared and Sarah. I have never had an ultrasound before. I was…
