Expecting Another
Hi everybody!
There's something I have been wanting to talk to you all about. I know that some of you noticed that there was a couple of months or so where I dropped off the face of the earth and didn't post. Then I just sort of started posting again and didn't mention being absent.
Well, there's a reason for that! I was nauseous for a few months there, so nauseous that I couldn't be at my computer for more than a few minutes without getting seasick. And then I wasn't nauseous, but I wasn't quite ready to talk about it yet.
But now I am.
And yes, if you've already guessed: I'm expecting! Tee hee! Our little bundle of joy is expected in mid-October. Of course, I'm dying to start on the new nursery, but I'm waiting until next month when I find out whether we're having a girl or a boy. I'll let you know.
Yay!

Congrats! I can so relate. I found out mid-March that I was 14 weeks pregnant. It explained ALOT!!! So, I too, have taken some time off b/c I have alot to do to get ready, since I haven't done this in 10 years! I'm due 9/15. Best of luck! I hope neither of us need it!

Congratulations, Angela. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here. May you have a "just warm enough" summer and some sitting time to enjoy it before the big event. Beautiful flower picture.

How wonderful! I'm glad you were gone for a happy reason, and not a sad one. October is a great time to have a birthday--that's when mine is. ;-)

I was wondering why you didn't post for such a long time and now I know. My dear, this is such wonderful news and, of course, the best reason for not posting, ever!
Congratulations!

Well, Angela, I had wondered what in the world happened to you. Now, a new baby, so I guess you'll REALLY be busy after October. Hope you can continue to blog occasionally though. We've missed ya!

Oh, I am so glad it was good news! I was a wee bit worried so this not only explains it but gives me a reason to stop worrying!

ooooh angelllllaaa! oh angela of the chandelier... (i hope you get notified of any new posts - even if it is on a topic different that the one it appears on) i DID IT> i decorated my chandy after looking at yours. it turned out great! i used almost invisible fishing line and multi colored/shaped glass beads, strung in a pattern of sorts, and spaced so the beads hang in the air. i love it. neighbors love it, and DH loves it. joy! thanks for the inspiration!jkj

What wonderful news Angela! I'm thrilled for you--and happy to hear you're feeling better. That nausea can be so miserable. I swear I was sick for 9 months with both of my pregnancies and thought I might not survive them!
Congratulations!! :-)

I just came across your blog. Congratulations!!! So happy to hear you are feeling better. I have a new 2 month old baby girl and was so nauseated for the first seventeen weeks. I do know where you are coming from. However, she was soooo worth it. Keep us posted.

Congrats! I know what you mean about not being able to blog during the morning sickness period. The thought of blogging and/or sewing (two of my favorite pasttimes!) actually made me want to vomit. Thank goodness that's over!

Congrats! I'd love to share my birthday with your little one - October 23. Of course, that's a little past the middle of October, so I'll understand completely if you prefer an earlier date!
