Hello Again.

by Luzel

Sorry I’ve been MIA!

Yeah, I know. I’ve been a bad blogger.

My life has been a little (okay A LOT) hectic lately. There’s been so much going on… so many happy things

baby

Yup, that’s right. We have a li’l bun coming this Summer! This is our first and needless to say, we’re over the moon!

To those of you who’ve been wondering where I am, fear not! I’ve not fallen off the face of the earth Thank you so much for your care and concern. You guys are the sweetest! The amount of wonderful comments and emails I’ve received has been astounding and meant so much to me. You have all been amazing.

I feel soooo guilty for disappearing but I really had to take a little blogging break because the internetz is not necessarily your friend when you’re pregnant, hormonal, and are facing overwhelming (at times, a bit scary) stuff. I’m 16 weeks along and I’m so glad the first trimester is now behind me. It wasn’t a pleasant one for me. 24 more weeks to go, folks. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

OK so this is my official welcome back post. I look forward to starting again soon!

27 LuRae { 02.22.10 at 8:40 pm }: Congratulations! When I was pregnant, people told me that the sicker you were at first, the healthier your baby would be. I’m sure there’s no medical basis for that statement, but at the time, it gave me hope! And my “babies” — who are now 25, 22, and 17 — all turned out healthy! Very nice to hear from you again.
