We have an announcment!


Hello everyone! We are very pleased to announce that Charity is pregnant!!! We found out about our little surprise the week before Christmas and wanted to tell family in person before we posted it. So, sorry about the delay but hopefully everyone understands. That's the good news, here is the bad news: Charity is not having much fun.

She is currently sick everyday, not just in the morning. She has no desire for crackers, or anything that would typically settle her tummy. Actually, in a twist of irony for those who know Char well, she really only likes to eat fast food like hamburgers and pizza. She also eats every 2 hours. So, as she tries to get through this rough spot she could use 2 things.

1- Prayer. We always need it but we could sure use your support.

2- Suggestions- We know that Char is not the first to be pregnant, so why re-invent the wheel? Please send us suggestions through e-mail or post a comment with your favorite morning sickness remedy.

We love you all and are very excited to share this journey with you. She doesn't have a belly yet, but we will post pictures in the future.

Do you have a doc yet??? You can get phenergan or Zofran from them! It really does help! Congrats too! Just call the doc! Ginger helps I've heard... keep me posted! I see this all the time since I work with Antepartum pt's. If you are too dehydrated then you might have to get admitted to get fluids back in and usually that helps too! We will be praying for health and the health of your precious baby! In Christ, Nicole

Hi, I jut happened on your blog through the Byrd blog. Anyhow, I have two little girls and had horrible "morning (all day) sickness terribly with both.

I used
- preggie pops
- candied ginger
- ginger ale
- took my preo vitamin in the afternoons

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

I can spell, my letters just don't respond as quickly as my fingers type. Not that I'm quick, it's just slow!
