Howdy friends from the Texas coast. I just remembered that I ran off and left you without saying goodbye.

I had a bit of a shaky week. At my thirty week check-up for the baby we found out that she has a heart arrhythmia. I cried for an entire day, unsure of exactly what that meant. In a week we go to a specialist to get a detailed view of what’s going on with my baby’s heart. In the meantime I’ve given up all caffeine, coffee, iced tea, and chocolate included. It’s been a tough few days. This beach trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. For the next week you can find me here…

I promise to return refreshed, relaxed, and sun kissed. Until then if you don’t mind saying a few prayers for my sweet baby I’d surely appreciate it.

    You’re in our prayers.

    Oh, Jade, hugs to you and your sweet baby.

    I obviously don’t know what’s going on with her, but it might be reassuring to know that my 70-year-old mother-in-law was born with a congenital heart erhythmia and has lived a completely normal life. It has not impacted her life in the least.

    Hi Jade. Hope you are enjoying the sun and waves. By the way I totally love the color on your toenails. Very sassy!

    I know that it gets scary when you get news like that, and hen the waiting for answers can be agony. Please you that you and your family are in our thoughts often.
