Surprise! I have not actually
disappeared from the face of the planet. And, having been gone so
long, I do have rather a lot of news.
So sometimes really great and
unexpected things happen. Sometimes, because you've been wanting them
a while, finally getting them is a bit of a shock, and you're afraid
that any mention of them happening might jinx them.
So you wait, and you see how things
will go. Time passes. You reach the point where you should probably
say something, but by then not saying anything is habit. But you
don't want to post anything nonchalant, because inside all you can
think is "Big news! Big news! Big news!" And then life gets
really really crazy and all thought of blogging goes right out the
window.
Well, here's me finally making my big
announcement:
I'm pregnant!
I'm pregnant!
Over seven months pregnant, in fact.
I'm so very excited, and I've been meaning to share this news for a
while now. But then I couldn't figure out quite how I wanted to say
it, and by the time I decided I'd just say it, the other big thing
was happening.
And so, for announcement number two:
My husband and I have moved into a
lovely new house!
This was rather a necessary step in
order to accommodate the impending child. It also meant a lot of
work, first with packing, and then with moving, and then with
unpacking and painting and getting new appliances and repairing the
broken fridge, and now, most recently, taking care of a pest problem.
So, if you have happened to wonder
where I've been the last several months, well, to recap:
- pregnant!
- new house!
It's a good life.
Happy for you, Audrey. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYeah, these are huge milestones! Glad everything went off without a hitch (or with just minor hitches like the refridgerator bugging out and the pests bugging you, too!). Sounds like your nesting is going very very well. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! I suspected you might be pregnant, but didn't know how to ask without sticking my foot in it. So happy for you, Audrey. Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know the gender? Have you got baby names picked out yet? I figure as a fantasy author you probably would have a girl named Celestine or Ludovica, or a boy named Aidan or Jax.
