Change

There have been many changes happening in our lives recently.
Joel has had to fend for himself a lot lately.
Liam has had a mommy that is much more willing to sit with him all day long and read books.
I've completely lost my appetite. Usually the whole day. Every now and again there will be one food item that I can handle a day. This varies, but has come in the odd forms of pickles, Polish hotdogs, stuffed mushrooms and Subway sandwiches (though technically I'm not supposed to have deli meat). Otherwise my diet consists of ensure drinks and protein shakes. The past few days has been a bit better.
Simple tasks such as washing the dishes and cleaning my son's food stained clothes are now huge ordeals that take a really long time and are filled with bouts of nausea.
Instead of cleaning up after my son's warpath during his nap,  I now find myself napping when he is.
The smell of food is nauseating, and I can't even walk into our garden anymore, and look at my lovely basil, tomatoes, beets or other vegetables.
I occasionally run through my mind different rearrangements of the furniture in Liam's room, to possibly include a twin-size bed.


Three guesses as to what could possibly be causing these changes in our lives. But I think you will only need one.

For My Sister...

... who says it's been way too long since I blogged. Which is true. We've been busy. Kinda. I noticed that I once again failed to send out a couple of posts that are still in the queue, because I wanted to attach pictures first. I'm too lazy right now (or the clothes that I promised Joel I'd iron today are calling), so they will have to wait. But here's a quick video, for my sister. :)

This is at a nearby cider mill where I met Sherice R, Cherise B and Stacie K one morning last week. After drinking cider and eating donuts, we fed the ducks a few leftover cider donuts and some bread. Liam was nervous for the health of the ducks however, and frequently sampled the food he fed them to make sure it was safe ;)
