I logged into my computer for the first time today in, well, I don't really remember how long and it asked me who I was. What the? I'm not kidding when I tell you that it isn't just my blogging that has been suffering. I haven't paid bills in weeks, or done laundry, or read my daily blog roll. Come to think of it, I can't really think of anything I have been doing except working. Like a dog.
So I'm here to tell you I'm still around. I was surprised when I logged into my blog and found that I actually have still had some hits- which is good- it means my old posts are still popular. But bad- because it means there will come a very dry spell for me where I blogged about nothing that anyone was interested in reading.
If you are wondering how I've been, well, I've been fantastic. I'm twelve weeks and one day pregnant and I just really don't know what to do with myself this pregnancy. I have had no hemorrhoids, no heartburn, no cravings, no nauseau, seriously, I have to ask myself every single day if I really am pregnant or if I have just convinced my body not to have a period. I think if my pregnancy had been this good the first time around I would have been in big trouble- because I probably wouldn't have thought twice about trying to have another one right away.
I have been tired, yes, but in the grand scheme of things that is to be expected. We have literally had company all but three weekends out of two and a half months, or we have been traveling ourselves. Not to mention I put in no less than ten hours a day at work and have been doing so for the last two months. Actually, I'm amazed that I haven't dropped dead from sheer exhaustion.
Of course, it means other things suffer. Like blogging. I haven't found a single witty thing to blog about since I became pregnant. Oh, and paying bills. That has suffered. I got a notice the other day that we are delinquent on our HOA dues. How can that be? I just paid them....in January. Ok fine. So I forgot last month. And the month before. And now I'm halfway through another month. I'll bet the guy at the association is tired of hearing the excuses. My dog ate the bill. I am just pregnant.
In case you were wondering, that's where I've been. I had big plans to catch up on my blogging last weekend but well, it was 85 degrees here and my bigger plan was to sit by the pool. Of course, I had to lifeguard for my husband and Hayley. My husband had a few drinks and Hayley doesn't have the greatest balance in the water so between the two of them I was pretty busy. But the sun sure felt good, and so did the two naps that I took this weekend- two of the only naps I have gotten in this pregnancy.
So if the weather is terrible this coming weekend you can count on some blog updates- maybe a few pictures. But if it is nice again, well, you'll likely get a one-liner from me. Like "I'm still here".






Jenn - Make the most of it! Yvonne x

It sounds like you are having a dream pregnancy! I hope it stays that way until the big day.
