my happy reasons for my house still looking like it does


This little bug,


our serious little man,


and the main reason, the little bean growing in that belly of mine. We are so happy to be expecting #3. It has been crazy being pregnant this time around. Like I said we really are so happy but wow, I thought it was tough being pregnant with Amelie but this time around has been so much worse. It took both Brett and I six months to decide to get pregnant. First I was ready but he wasn't, and then about three months later Brett told me he thought he could handle it. Then it was me that was thinking about how getting pregnant for me is so awful. And it has been awful, I don't throw up as much as I did with Amelie, around four or five times a day has been my average this time around but I am so nauseous all the time. I could still function and work with Amelie but this time around I'm just miserable and super weak. Probably because I am so dehydrated. We have been really blessed to have friends help out with my kids and people have brought us meals. People even cleaned our old place for us when we moved without me knowing. It is hard being on the receiving side but I am really grateful for all the help. 
 It has gotten better in the couple of weeks. For the most part I don't throw up more than once a day. I have more good days now that I have passed the twelve week mark. So even though it's been worse this time around it has eased up a lot earlier. It's so strange to me how every pregnancy has been so different for me. 
But that's our news. It's killing me not having the energy to work on the house as much as I have wanted to but I just keep trying to be patient. I'm not very good at that. Brett would definitely agree on that.  I am just starting to show which I'm glad for. It's always nice to have something to show for all of this. I don't know if I'm going to have the guts to get pregnant again. This just might be our last baby so I'm going to take pictures of my belly this time around. Just thought I would warn you.

  4. Yay! Congratulations Jess! It was so fun adding a third, you really feel like a full-blown family. This baby will be so cute like your others. My sister Brooke who is so sick like you, finally decided to get rehydrated via IV every other week with her last pregnancy, and she said it helped a lot. But, you may be out of the woods now. How many weeks are you?
