I am so nauseus I can't enjoy anything right now.
The doctor told me to eat more, but even the thought of food sends me to the toilet.
This is terrible...

Pickles and Toast
Sorry I haven't posted in a few day.. but soon after the positive pregnancy test, morning sickness began to kick my butt.
Not just in the morning either, for the past few days I have been sick for most of the day and I also have developed a headcold. So I've been trudging my way through work at the office and sleeping when I get home. Haven't gotten much done.
Dave and I are very excited we are pregnant again, although it comes with a lot of tension this time because it's hard to let ourselves get too happy until we know this is a viable pregnancy, and not like last time. We have an appointment May 27th with the OBGYN. Until then.. it's like holding our breathes and praying this miracle really is a baby and not another heartbreak. I hate to be negative, but each happy thought seems plagued with a "what if".
Today I finally feel like I have gotten some of the nausea under control. I had my doubts when the woman who sits behind me at work told to try pickles to calm my stomach, but after some research found that vinegar neutralizes stomach acid, so I had my mom pick up a big deli pickle for me. I ate it, kept it down, and do feel much less nauseus. This is great, cause I love pickles.
At home, Dave has started work on the hole in front of the door. The old drywall has been removed, all insulation that was wet has been removed and replaced and new drywall has been installed. Now all there is left to is spackle, sand and paint. Although, spackling is the hardest part.
This weekend I have a small adventure in parenthood simulation planned. I am babysitting four boys. Our friends have a 10 year old (who is mildly autistic), a 12 year old foster child and a pair of four year old adopted twins. We are watching them from noon on Saturday until 9 ish on Sunday evening. Should be quite the circus.
Hopefully I'll be well enough to post soon.

Done for the day!
Finshed laying the decking.
Now we are celebrating at the diner :)
Hopefully by Friday we can get the two sets of stairs installed. So far, so good.
Time to relax for now.

Those photos I promised
Here are some pics of what the deck looked like this morning when we woke up:
You can see we made a little path for our dog Jak to come and go from the backdoor. Those aren't attached yet of course.

Exhausted after a long day
Well, the porch is a lot closer to finished but you still can't sit a chair on it. The framing is done and the decking should go on tommorrow. I'll post more pictures then, but right now I am absolutly exhausted from all the heavy lifting, hammering and drilling.
Early in the day (the posts went in before bed last night)
My hubby and lil' brother workin hard while I take photos :p
Framing starting to come together in this shot.
I'll post photos of the finished framing tommorrow. We expanded the width and depth of the deck, but recycled much of the old framing to save time and money.
Hope we can finish tommorrow!
