Welcome to This is the Gospel, an LDS living podcast where we feature real stories from

real people who are practicing and living their faith every day.

Trust him.

Move forward with faith and gratitude.

and I was about 33 weeks pregnant.

And I felt like I had the flu.

I went to pick up Chloe out of her crib that morning.

I could barely pick her up.

I was really weak.

And I called my sister-in-law to come over and babysitter for me so I could rest and lay

down.
