I need to give credit where credit is due with those baby shoes. I couldn't figure out how to add a link using my phone, so here is the blog I used to make those shoes.
We are currently at Gillette Children’s Hospital, sitting in a quiet hospital room with a very sleepy baby wrapped in a turban. Nixon is at a dog show with a hospital volunteer, which is nice, since he is struggling because he has had two days now without a nap. To this point, everything has gone smoothly. When Ruby was first born, still in the hospital, the pediatrician came to check her out. Everything looked great but he expressed some concern about her head shape, but quickly stated “it’s probably nothing to worry about though.” Uh… not comforting. Six days after she was born we headed to Utah to visit family and that pushed her two week appointment back to three weeks. Throughout those three weeks, I had this little concern constantly in the back of my mind that something might be wrong with her head. The pediatrician hadn’t gone into detail about what was wrong or what it might mean, so, of course, I feared the worst. ...

I had a simple testimony of my religion and that got me through tough times. Since moving here, working, making friends that aren't of my same religion, flying back and forth from Wisconsin to Utah several times, and my parents being called as mission presidents, I have had several opportunities to talk to people about what I believe and answer questions. Some questions (how many wives does your husband have) are hilarious to me! Some questions (do you wear special underwear) have caught me off guard but have given me a chance to explain some of my belief system. I decided, mostly for my own benefit but also for some of those who have asked questions, to answer questions I have been asked and to explain what we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, believe.
