Still doing DD.. but a few changes are necessary

Hello all. I apologize again for the long absence.

Hunter and I have had to make some adjustments in our DD life, but all for a very good reason.

A little over a month ago, we were quite shocked, surprised, and stunned to find that we are expecting another baby! This will make number 5!

We actually started DD during my last pregnancy, so I have no problem with continuing through this one. However, we have opted to do away with any high impact implements for the foreseeable future and he has given me the freedom to decide which implements I am comfortable with using thru the duration of the pregnancy. He still chooses which one and when, but only from the selection I am comfortable with.

I am also finding that my nerve-endings have been very heightened in pregnancy so implements that used to be tolerable are no longer that way. The strap wrench for example, although always awful is causing me to panic these days so it is off the table for now. Our little pink cane is becoming a fast favorite mainly because it can be used effectively with very little impact, effort or huge numbers.

Some of our rules have also been taken off the table for now such as housework and such due to extreme morning sickness and exhaustion.

Hunter has been amazing!! The man has been helping even more with housework and has been doing 99% of meal preparation for the last month. I am feeling a bit better this week, so hopefully we are nearing the end of this part!

I am currently 9 weeks along and will keep you posted on how things are going and how our DD continues to function.

Take care and thanks for coming by! :)
