Absent

Yes..I’ve been a little absent.  It’s not because I’ve wanted to. It’s because this tiny, jelly-bean sized baby is taking everything I have.  Morning sickness has become all day sickness.  Rather than bore you with the details, just know that I’m working as hard as I can to keep in touch with all of you.  I read each and every one of your comments and emails.  I cried when I read  your comments after announcing my pregnancy.  I seem to cry at everything these days.  I sit here, so thankful for women…for moms…for community….

As I sit here, in my pajamas, trying to force myself to get up to eat something….anything, I’m reminded of how human I really am.  I used to be told I was an excellent multi-tasker.  “How do you do it all?”, people would ask me when I told them I worked as a nurse and took care of a home and a toddler and blogged and everything else in between.  Well, I’m slowing down, out of necessity, not out of desire.  I anxiously wait for the arrival of the second trimester when the fatigue and nausea and sickness become a distant memory and I can be as productive as I once was.

All that to say, if you email me, and I’m a little slow to respond, know that I’m still here…know that I take each of your emails and comments to heart.  And I will respond…it may just take a little longer than I would like.

Oh…and over the weekend, there will be a TON of winners to announce so make sure to check your emails!  I think that’s my favorite part of hosting a contest…choosing winners!  The “yeahs!” and “woo hoos!” and genuine excitement I get from you when you’ve been told you won something you weren’t expecting just makes my day!
