Dear Life

Oh my dear life how I miss you.  I promise things will be back in order again soon.  From past experience, I knew it was possible, but this tiny thing is wreaking even more havoc on things than before.  At a mere 8 weeks I have thrown up so many times I lost count, spent 3 hours in the walk-in clinic with an IV and anti-nausea drugs and have become quite the recluse.  The kids never got out of their pajamas in the last three days and we have watched more shows than I care to count.

8 weeks along only 32 weeks to go.  Day-by-day or perhaps minute-by-minute we will make it through this.  I will clean the house again, I will feed my kids again, I will get my work done again, I will talk to my sisters on the phone again and all of this will pass. 

And we will anxiously await and anticipate the new normal that will arrive in 32 weeks.

Congrats you guys that is so awesome! I feel your pain I hate that first phase more then anything!!! I hate those who don't get sick and throw up no stop good luck! I can say I am soooo glad I never have to be there again.

Jen, I feel for ya! I truly believe this is the reason I had 2 kids at once because God knew I would't put myself through that more than three times. I am sorry that you are feeling crappy but excited for ypu guys to have a new little addition to your cute family. You will make it and your kids will get through it too.
