A peek of the main house

I know you guys have been waiting so I will share some photos of our mess.  While taking these photos I realized we still have a ton of piddly stuff left to do. My zinc counter top is WAY too shiny now, but after a few weeks of use it will take on a beautiful pewter patina.  The...

Knocked flat

Despite my good intentions I am down.   My life consists of days on the couch and evenings in bed amidst empty Zofran wrappers, spit cups & other sick people paraphernalia.  I am merely a body with a womb.  I sit here and do nothing but grow this baby. As I sit in bed watching the fog...

The spit cup

This is what happened to your coffee cup Levi. Another lovely side effect associated with hyperemesis gravidarum.  Ptyalism.  Excessive drool.  There is one theory that the person suffering Ptyalism does not actually produce more saliva,  the person just cannot swallow it.  I am here to bust that myth. Why,  then,  does my mouth run like a river while I am...
