I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with Homestud and I's first child. We are beyond excited, except for the vomiting and severe headaches I am still experiencing. Last week, I was pretty much bedridden; unable to keep any fluids down and nothing was helping. Wednesday I went in for an IV but refusing any other medication. The constant sickness left me drained, physically and emotionally, leading me to the decision to resign from my seasonal position as a Field Tech (working outside in 110 degree weather).
So my income is gone. We were prepared for this, but we were not prepared for our $3000 fridge to go out the next week. Seriously folks, don't ever buy Kitchenaid appliances. DON'T DO IT! This is the second time this has happened.
But, this is life. I cried a lot and honestly Homestud and I fought about it (now I don't really know what we were fighting about). We have a backup in the basement. So what? It's an inconvenience.
Life will go on. Food will be in our belly (maybe non refrigerated food) and there will be a roof over our head tomorrow. We have been lucky with an abundant cherry tomato harvest and we consistently have eggs. So why worry? This is life on a homestead.

There will likely be a lot more committed to this site now that I'm "unemployed" so stay tuned!
