so i thought i'd return from the depths of morning sickness long enough to revive my blog, but i see that my husband has tended to it along with all the other chores he has taken on in my "absence". he's so wonderful!!
yes, pregnancy is just as hard the second time around (if not harder) and i find myself struggling to keep from losing too much weight. so far i've lost 8 lbs and i'm entering my 10Th week. we'll see if i break last pregnancy's record of 14 lbs lost. i'm on a steady diet of crackers and juice, and have at least managed to stay hydrated so as to avoid a hospital stay. my consolation is reading about other women who lose 20+ lbs and have 4 or 5 kids in their care... it could be much worse.
erin has struggled to adjust to this change in lifestyle, but is so blessed to have aunts, uncles, and grandparents who take care of her when i'm not able. and as i stated above, my sweet husband makes sure that all the dishes and laundry are done (even after a long day of work!), and sees to erin's needs all evening long. i know he's exhausted but i don't ever hear him complain. i couldn't make it without him.
my brother nathan is visiting this week, and it has been fun catching up/having company around the house. we've watched a lot of "A Baby Story", "What not to Wear", and "The Simpsons"... he's very patient to sit through those first two :-) this afternoon, he and caleb went with caleb's brothers to see "Spiderman 3" and now he's in the middle of a Halo 2 tournament with caleb and two of his friends. i hope he's enjoying his time here!
well that's about all i can muster. i have no new erin pictures to post... there will probably be an eight month void in her photograph collection
