(hmm not a physical shot tho, maybe i should look into injections). thanks girl, love ya! xkate @ livinglovinglaughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338684473367972293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-35435637907150191922012-06-13T20:20:51.493+10:002012-06-13T20:20:51.493+10:00thank you so much amber - you have been/are SUCH a...thank you so much amber - you have been/are SUCH an emotional (and physical) support for me during this time... you have no idea.

I too shudder as I remember the total and utter exhaustion and constant nausea of the third pregnancy...tough times, but, as you say, not forever (although it just feels that way when you're in the midst of it no doubt).<br /><br />I look forward to your posts with or without pics and the blog will always be there to pick right up again when you're feeling better. <br /><br />I don't know if you've seen this, being a like-minded pinterest fan, but thought there might be a couple of ideas that you could use for those days when you can't get off the couch...<br />http://www.babycenter.com/0_40-ways-to-entertain-your-kids-while-lying-down_10350158.bc<br /><br />Good luck, and much strength to you,<br />Sarah (goodytenshoes)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-37413012920464945472012-06-12T23:05:23.418+10:002012-06-12T23:05:23.418+10:00Oh Kate, AsI read your words I vividly remember th...Oh Kate, AsI read your words I vividly remember that constant nausea, the saliva starts to build in my mouth and I feel so, so sorry for you. Life is cruel to expect you to endure that kind of torture for ALL of your pregnancies and you are worthy of the biggest pity party going. 'Morning' (ha!) sickness is no fun whatsoever. :( But as you say, you will have a sweet new baby in your arms early next year and it will be all worth it.<br />Re the blog: Relax, don't pressure yourself. If you can't manage a photo or even a few words, no-one is going to hold it against you. You and your family come first, everything else after that.<br />Hope you are feeling better soon. xxTarnyahttp://www.thomasography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-82481914783310822962012-06-12T22:57:04.134+10:002012-06-12T22:57:04.134+10:00You are an amazing woman, Kate.

It's great to see you and Mark have organised how to make this stage of your life that teensy bit easier on you while you do the amazing job of growing that little bean, as you say it WILL all be very much worth it! Wish I was closer and could lend a hand, Lily and Eli would be very welcome for playdates here :) xx<br /><br />P.S.

Put it ...Dear Kate, I am glad you got this all out. Put it on paper (computer ;) ) and indeed revealed the reality of the downside of your most wonderful news. <br />I can read your words, and hear you make small references to how feel when we catch up and see in your face that you are feeling unwell but I know that what I see/hear is only a glimpse of what you go through in your pregnancies. I think tough would be an understatement :( <br />Your little baby is a lucky little one; a gorgeous life within an equally gorgeous family awaits him/her :) <br />Please use your blog to keep it real (as you say it is yours to do so!) and know that I am here to support you in anyway you need :) <br />Well done Mark for stepping up and being a caring husband and father. But hey Kate that doesn't mean you are any less of a mother/parent. You and Mark are a team. Lily and Eli would NEVER see that you anything less than the loving parent that you are each and every day. Look at Lily's smile would you? YOu have made her one happy girl this week ...and will continue to do so. <br />Love you, and hope that your family and friends can give you the strength that you need at this difficult time. xxxxxxxxxxAmber {we stood together}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064062260557606454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908208985957738476.post-573054106142160112012-06-12T20:19:28.418+10:002012-06-12T20:19:28.418+10:00Wow wow wow, what wonderful words.
