Life Happens

Hello Friends.  I'm not going to apologize for being gone for so long.  I'm simply going to tell you that life happened to me and has given me a gift.  I'm four months pregnant!  I'm due in September and I can honestly say that come September, I'll have everything that I ever wanted in life.  So until recently, I was too tired to type, finding something to eat for dinner was dreadful, and doing the minutest of tasks like empty the dishwasher or throw a load of laundry in the washer became impossible feats. 

Now I have more energy and I'm starting to prepare my house and my life for a baby-crazy!  My house has a serious lack of storage space so I'm cleaning out crap I don't need.  Unfortunately, my plan to push my book as much as possible this year went quickly out the window.  So that's where I've been.

Okay-so let's get real for a moment...I am not one of those crazy ladies that loves being pregnant.  Life has enough issues without constantly feeling sick, hungry, or overly-emotional.  Baby Z (I don't know the gender yet) doesn't like oranges or anything orange like.  I love oranges and the fact that I can't one for another five months is driving me mad.  Therefore, I requested OJ has my celebratory drink after labor. 
Furthermore, I read thebump.com about the size of the baby each week and what to expect.  They recommend taking pictures of my stomach to commenorate this moment.  Not sure how I feel about this.  People can take this to a very creepy level-getting professional pictures done and being all artsy.  Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't intend on posting my belly pictures for all to see. 
Alright, so it sounds like I'm complaining.  One awesome thing about being pregnant-maternity pants.  Hands down, most comfortable thing I'll ever wear.  Remember when you were little and you had pants that didn't have zippers or buttons?  I didn't either and then I tried on maternity pants and God Bless elastic! 
So that is my big news.  I'm really excited.  Also, I'm nervous because a chapter of my life is coming to a close, but a new one is beginning.  Stay tuned, I will try to write more.
