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

Can't imagine LOSING weight while pregnant, though I've known a few. I am so sorry it's been rough - praying for you daily. I won't complain about gaining 30 pounds when I wanted to eat all day long pregnant. :) Glad Caleb is being as sweet as ever.
Praying for you!!
Brad has also been doing all the cooking and cleaning for me the last month. Evenings are worse for me, so Kaylah gets lots of Daddy time then.
Thank the Lord for wonderful husbands!

Ashia- An African term Nate and his family say (from their missionary days). It means "so sorry, would want it to be easier". You get a big ASHIA! It's great you have family around, especially the very sweet, loving, wonderful family just a few doors down!
Praise God for selfless husbands who show their wives how much they love them!! I'll say a prayer that God will continue to give you grace. Morning sickness is one thing. Morning sickness with a toddler is quite another!
I feel your pain, Anne! I hope you're beginning to feel better.....I'm praying for you!
I'm so sorry it is just as bad this time around. I had hoped it wouldn't be. It is tougher with a toddler. -rlr
