"Real life" seems so long ago. I remember the days that I went non-stop from sun up to sun down and the kids were right at my heels. I never thought of throwing up and food was a pleasant part of life. Now we march to a much slower drum, one that is being controlled by Hypermesis gravidarum. It is an illness associated with pregnancy where severe and persistent nausea and vomiting impact every facet of your life. I've been sick with my other pregnancies, but not to this extreme.
The good news: It is only temporary, a matter of months. And you know what they say, when you can't go over it or around it- you have to go through it. It's a journey that our family is experiencing together. Brent has been such a wonderful support. He's become Mr. Mom and taken on a bulk of the responsibilities around the house and yard. Both or our parents have been wonderful to help with the kids and then other generous people are bringing in meals and helping out with the kids.
It's a humbling experience. One that has brought me to my knees.

I'm so glad people are taking care of you guys. We wish we were closer so we could help out. Hope today is a good day!
Oh Karisa :( You just never can catch a break with this pregnancy thing. I know this sounds cheesy, but hang in there :) I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you in hopes that it really doesn't last too long!
