Another photoshoot with the ever-cooperative trio of trouble...I'm really glad we made a special trip to Sunken_Gardens for these shots:
...and also ridding a sickly bug from our house. My poor buddy, he was a real champ. His puke-catching tools were only needed for a couple of hours thankfully--and no one else got much of it, except for the extreme crabby/disobedient symptom (can you get that from a virus?) 
Jude plowed through his little mini-flu and yesterday had a stellar 18-month visit to the pediatrician's office...weighing in at a very studly 29 lbs and nearly 35 inches--96th percentile. Praise the Lord for good health!
I've been ready to rid my own morning sickness. Before this pregnancy I've never gotten up in the middle of the night to eat--who does that anyway? But now I routinely go to bed with a PB&J or protein bar for those middle of the night nausea/hunger attacks. I was also battling menopause-like insomnia, lying awake 2 to 3 hours at times, and am very grateful the Lord answered my prayers and caused me to find a bedtime snack that helps me sleep...my super-high-protein cottage cheese & crackers. It is a real gift to wake up having slept the whole night. I've had so much energy the last few days I've been able to tackle things like planting my tulip & crocus bulbs, and getting the house a little more in shape, making things look like Fall:
The Lord has really impressed upon me lately to look for the good parts of trials...think of Romans 8:28, how He causes all things to work together for good for us believers. It's the hard stuff that makes us cling to Him for strength, sometimes moment-by-moment. And even though I haven't gone through anything earth-shattering, I've been reminded of my need for Him...and to be thankful when those hard things pass.

Love all the pictures--nothing dull at your home! ;o) I'm glad Jude's illness was short-lived and nobody else got it, that would be the last thing you need right now. You know your descriptions of how you're feeling right now made me remember something similar. I never had morning sickness, but I could never let myself get too hungry or I'd feel yucky. Do peanut butter cookies count as a high-protein snack? ;o)
Love your fall decor bits! Especially those cute little gourds in the glass jar!
The light from the Sunken Garden pics looks beautiful... sometime I think it'd be great fun to go along with you on one of these photo outings :)
