Pregnancy Update - 11 Weeks

There is not too much to report on the pregnancy front this week.  I am just thankful to have made it to eleven weeks.  I do think that the nausea is lessening.  Maybe James was right about the sickness only lasting another week. September is a month in which I have had two miscarriages, one [...]

Sweet Potato Harvest
