Thankful For Fruit

 I have been really sick!  I'm about 13 weeks pregnant and the last several weeks have been just awful.  I've never been so sick in my life!  Doug has been so helpful and the kids have been great about playing together and helping me out.  The only thing that sounds good is fruit and I have been so thankful for it.  We lucked out this year and have peach, plum, and apple trees in the backyard.  You would think that with that quantity of fruit I would have had plenty to can...but this pregnancy has taken over and we consumed it all. In addition I have eaten so many bananas, grapes, and watermelon.  Nobody around here is getting home cooked meals, but at least we have plenty of fruit!

Congratulations! We must have the same clock ticking because I'm 16 weeks pregnant and oh my gosh can morning sickness be any worse. I was miserable and am finally starting to feel some better. I craved fruit as well. At lest you didn't have to cook it and smell it and then eat it.

Hey, this is Jerry... I can't tell you the envy I feel when I see the pictures of fresh fruit (especially the peaches)! Maybe someday when I'm a wealthy dentist like Doug I can have have fruit trees too. Hope you guys are doing great.
