Oh, blog world, how I’ve missed you! I even missed my 2nd Blogaversary here at the Menagerie, but I promise to make a proper post in the next week or so. I just haven’t been myself lately, but I have a perfectly good reason.
I’m pregnant!!!!
Now, I’m still cautiously optimistic, due to everything that happened last July. But I have a really good feeling about this one, and I’m hoping that all will go well and that, sometime in either late August or early September, I’ll have a beautiful, happy, healthy baby.
Things haven’t been easy. I’ve been sick almost from Day 1 of this pregnancy and have spent my time either in bed, or at work. There is no in between; my free time has been given up to resting and vomiting. The worst thing, in all of this, is that I can’t knit. The motion of it makes me very ill. I can get a few rows out before I have to put the project down and walk away all together. (So, those of you who signed up on my Pay It Forward list via Facebook, I’m letting you know now, I’m going to do my best to get items to you, but I’m just not sure when.)
So, I thought, okay, fine. I’ll work on my spinning. Well, it turns out that I need a new drive band (not hard to get or expensive, thank goodness.) I was in the middle of plying the other night and the thing pops right off and breaks. I could have screamed; I understand about giving up hobbies and time once you have the child, but before? Come on, Universe, give me a break!
And speaking of Facebook, I have NOT made any major announcements yet. I’m waiting for my first OB appointment before I do. But I also look at this way; why do I have to post it all over Facebook. While I want people to know, do I really want everyone to know everything?
But good things are abounding, and soon. As I said, my first doctor’s appointment, so I can get a better idea of when I’ll be due. Tina and Steve are coming to visit in less than twelve days and I can’t wait! Corey will be here as well, and we have an amazing weekend planned!!! My appetite is starting to come back to me, and I really need to watch what I’m eating, because yesterday I ate almost an entire pizza by myself before I realized what I had done. 
Maybe with feeling less queasy, I can start to feel more able to knit again? I hope so!
