Well, I got real tired real fast of having to inject that stinking heparin twice a day soooo - I talked to my Granny who is a nurse and she said I could just take Flax seed. We went to the Dr appointment and I told them that was what I was going to do. They will keep monitering my lab work to make sure it is working, but this is sooooo much better than constant pain and bruising. It's only a precationary measure anyway, I don't have the anti-coagulant andtibody anymore.

I've also been doing some research on "high risk" and home birth. I found out there is not a law stating that I cannot have my baby at home. It is just a matter of finding a CNM who is willing and able to deliver for me. - something to be praying about. No final decisions have been made as of yet, I just want to be very informed and not bullied into a decision by false information.

We find out the gender of the baby in one week! Yay! DH is doing a great job of getting the new room built. He has all of the walls up and the framing for the roof. I can't wait to see it when it is done!

I have been doing better with keeping up on the housework and stuff, despite the fact my nausea seems worse rather than better. Praise God for His mercies, wherever He chooses to place them!

WE need prayer for my Dad - he is in the hospital. He has some kind of infection is his bad leg ( bad from a motorcycle accident long long ago - had experimental surgury done on it at the time) and it is not getting better with antibiotics. We are waiting to hear 2 things, 1: what the infection is so they can treat it  and 2: if the bone is degenerating or not.

If the bone is degenerating then eventually ( though thankfully not at this time) they will need to amputate. I can't imagine what dad would do at that point he is such a hard worker and loves his work. Also he doesn't have any retirement or anything because he has had his own woodworking business since shortly after I was born. Please Pray for a good result and fast healing of the infection.

It sounds like you have strong family support. That is great! I am adding your Dad to my prayer list. I am partial to woodworkers. My grandfather was a cabinet maker. He died when my Daddy was about 9 but both he and my uncle had a strong drawing to wood working. As they didn't have a Daddy to take care of them or train them in carpentry it was a rough life. Both managed to have it in their lives by do it yourself projects and I think that my uncle even worked on a construction crew for a while. I have a deep respect for that gifting. Hope everything works out for you.
Be blessed,
Miss Meg
