While finding out that we were going to be parenting another precious child has brought us great joy, morning (noon, night) sickness has completely consumed all of our lives for the last 35 (but who’s counting?) days. This is a terribly frustrating thing since there is much to be done, and strangely, while sitting at a computer seems like an easy enough thing to do while being sick, I have had no desire to even open up my laptop most days (which is nuts if you know me). Phone calls have been put on hold, and emails are sitting in my inbox, just waiting to be answered. I guess managing a 15 month old, and perpetually feeling nauseous, have proven to be a greater task than I could have imagined. If it weren’t for the patience (and strangely high puke tolerance) of my husband, who has worn his mommy hat more than ever before (including being the sole poopy diaper changer), our little family would be in trouble.
That brings me to another frustrating thing about be so stinkin sick. I have so many things I want to blog about, it may take me a year to catch you all up. There are so many people to thank for their kindness over the last few weeks, and so many pictures and videos of Abby doing her Abby thing.
Well, the past few days I have gotten the idea that I may be leveling off in the nausea department, and have actually gotten a few things done around the house. I hope to be blogging regularly soon. Thank you so much for checking in, and for all your sweet comments lately.
We are Erin and Josh, a wife and husband who blog to give our family and friends a perspective on our life as parents, leaders in a fairly new church, Southern California natives in the Pacific Northwest, and followers of Christ.

Sweet Erin…I am so sorry for your sickness. Maybe this time it will only be for the first trimester or less…one can only hope!
I am praying that you feel better real soon. I REALLY HOPE that you feel better once you are out of your first trimester. Or sooner! Don’t worry about keeping up with email or the ole blog. They can wait! I should take my own advice on that matter…..
Love you sweet girl.

Oh Erin….I can’t even imagine the nausea with a 15 month old running around! How sweet of your husband to help out so much.
I will never forget the day I woke up and thought to myself—
I’M NOT SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!” It was the best feeling in the world! I hope that feeling comes super fast for you!
I am so sorry that you are still sick! Hopefully that will pass soon! If you need anything, please let me know. We are happy to help! I would be more than happy to watch Abby for you.
I second that, Lesalynn!
