Mothers are wonderful

Since it is Mother's Day I thought it fitting to discuss my life lately, which is all about my mom. My mom came to live with us for the month of April. She came out at my request to help out. She did that and more :) She cooked, did laundry, took care of me, cleaned, watched Cameron and I was able to stay in bed. It was so nice to know that everything was being taken care of. It also took a load off of Jake. What an amazing mother and grandmother! I was able to improve dramatically and I give my mom 90% of the credit. 10% to Zofran and IV therapy. If you didn't know I am pregnant and am diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum (basically extreme, persistent nausea and vomiting.

It was so nice to have her taking care of me, that I followed her back to Virginia. Cameron and I are now here with her and the family. My condition has improved so much that I am able to be much more active and am slowly gaining my strength back. I have felt so blessed lately and know it is because of all my friend and families prayers. Thank you!

Pictures to come once I get back home to Utah.
