Thing 3?
You know that feeling when you've finally decided that your family is complete, you start to make plans for the future that involve the four of you on vacations, running races together (which we have done several times in the last couple months), arranging the house just right, even buying a house perfect for the four of you, making plans for work that will produce scholarship to advance your career, seeing your wife starting to do some of the things she had always dreamed of doing and planing to finish her PhD soon, then all of a sudden that whole picture changes by plus one? Well, I know that feeling. Leah Marie is already feeling severe sickness; the hyperemesis has returned, and, unfortunately, looks to remain for yet another long pregnancy. There was always that vacillation in the backs of our minds, but we ultimately had decided to forgo future pregnancies simply because of the devastating toll they take on Leah Marie's body. Well, here we go again, but with a greater certainty that this is a last one, and we go into it prepared this time, which I am sure will take care of any future vacillation.

Since Princess Kate is also going through hyperemesis with her pregnancy, maybe more people will have some understanding of this struggle. I hope your wife gets the empathy she needs and deserves, as she prepares to have a precious new Thing. Good luck to you both!
