We are doing well, although it seems to be one crisis after another. Three months ago, I remember saying out loud how we didn't really have any problems in our lives. I am so glad that I recognized and enjoyed it then. That calm before the storm. Between house, health, and family crises, we are perservering. No one has died and Rob still has a job that he loves, so that is great. I mean GREAT!
Speaking of one drop in the deluge, I am now 4 months pregnant, and still sick... which is actually getting worse rather than better. Once I throw up over a hundred times, I confess my attitude becomes more cynical. I just can't get on top of it, and walk around feeling so dehydrated, even when I keep things down. Yet I know this is better than last pregnancy. Rob has been absolutely FANTASTIC... and that does deserve capitals. From fixing broken appliances, cooking when I can't, handling plumbers and flooding, a shoulder to cry on, giving good council, etc. etc. Some trials are worth going through just to appreciate and grow closer to those around you. And I am not just talking about my husband right now, I am talking to the rest of my family, too.
So I am grateful. Under this layer of cynicism and hurt, I am grateful. Or if I am not at this exact moment, I know I will be. I truly believe that we will come out better in the end by clinging to each other and God.

I've been wondering about you and HOPING that this time would be easier. You can do it! I am so happy you have great support.
You poor dear, I feel for you so much. I'm sure this pregnancy is easier for me too, but when you are puking I don't think it matters it has been worse, it's just lousy now. I hope it starts to ease for you (I'm still throwing up at 28 weeks, but I do feel better most days). It made it so hard for me to be happy about being pregnant. I'll be praying for you for that issue as well as the others you are facing. Hang in there!
I wish there was some way to aliviate all the morning sickness that lasts all day. I'm sorry you get so sick. But your cute kids are worth it in the end. Hold on. Like the scriptures say, "It came to pass" - not stay. Keep your positive attitude. You are amazing.
We miss you guys.
So sorry that things have been very difficult. You are in our prayers!!
