We are excited to announce that baby #4 is on the way. We are due August 12. This pregnancy has been a hard and challenging time for all of us so far. We are only about 12 weeks along and for the last 4 weeks I have been dealing with extreme nausea and vomiting. I am on IV fluids twice a day and haven't been able to work or even really take care of the kids or house or anything. I just sit or lay down and concentrate on trying not to throw up. I have tried all the different anti nausea medications that the doctor has prescribed and the zofran has been helping some. I am hoping that now that I am getting into my second trimester that things will start getting better. This pregnancy has been so different from all my other pregnancies that I feel like this is my first pregnancy all over again because nothing that I know works. I am so grateful for my mom and mother in law who have helped a lot with taking care of the kids, doing my dishes and laundry. Steve also has been amazing he has become mom, wife and homemaker. I truly have an amazing husband.

Congrats!! I was so excited when my mom told me you were expecting. Brad and I would love if baby came on the 14th. ;) (I'll speak for him).
Hope you get to feeling better soon. xo
Congratulations!!!! How exciting- though, of course, not the being sick part.
I don't know if this will help, but my sister gets SUPER sick when she is pregnant, and she posted a trick that her doctor gave her to at least lesson the nausea. It might be worth a shot. Here is her blogpost where she talks about it if you want to try yet another thing: http://shellsandthegang.blogspot.com/2009/01/and-so-it-goes.html
Good luck!!!
I so wish I lived closer to help you out! Hopefully this will not last the whole time. And sorry Trish, she usually delivers all her baby's super early.
How exciting!!! Congrats! I hear ya on the barfing. I wasn't that bad, but I did barf a lot. My sister had a PICC line for 2 of her pregnancies and was on zofran and it helped, but didn't make it go away. I hope you can find some relief. Good luck and congrats! I'm so excited for you!
I love love love you guys!! Just dont' forget that I am here too now!
Congratulations! (on the pregnancy, not the morning sickness.)
My pregnancy I was sick from about 8 weeks until about 18 weeks. It really sucked. Are you feeling any better? I drank hot water with lots of lemon in it, sucked on hard candies, used seabands, and took Zofran. Had a few IV's too, but nothing really worked except the Zofran, and that just created constipation issues. Yipee...
I really hope you're feeling better by now.
I posted some updated pics on my blog and Shutterfly site, if you have a chance to check them out.
Love Ya!
