Long lost blogger here. Usually we dont like to go too long without saying something but as most of you know the last 3 monthes has been a whirlwind.

Lets see 2 car accidents, getting pregnant, great visit from Mom McIntyre, Easter time, looking for a new rental home, finding new rental home, moving into new rental home, fixing up new rental home...all amidst the hardest part of pregnancy for us. I won't bore you with more details, all that I can say is that deciding to go on the chemo drug for nausea has really eased a lot of the hyperemesis. Now I can say Im a regular all the time nauseated Mama instead of a constantly throwing up. Ok enough said. Too much info. But please, please read about Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

My camera software was also not working for the longest time, so here are a few ah er... not so recent, recent shots? Yes Easter time. New home shots coming soon.

The boys...well they have falled in love with collecting slugs at the new house there is one shot of that here, and Therese dancing in her swimmers on our porch.

Well we are trucking right along in our pregnancy. Mama is counting down the weeks. For those of you who don't know, Eileen always gets pretty sick until about the 22 week, you can read on Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It's not as bad for her, but its the closest description to what she goes through with each of her pregnancies.

Because of the realities of her daily work with the 3 kids keeping her busy, we decided to try going on a chemo drug called Zofran and it has been 2 weeks now on the drug. It takes about 60 percent of it away which is really really wonderful. Still Eileen has a hard time through the day, but at least the food she does eat stay inside!

She was away on retreat this weekend, and I daddy got the pleasure of seeing just what her days are like, Wow!

Last bit of news, we moved into a 3 bedroom rental home with a yard last week and the kids are loving digging in the dirt and picking lemons off the tree.
