I know, I know!  My nose is in the corner and I'm in time out.  I've been terrible at keeping up to date with people and/or keeping in contact.  It's been a stressful few months, though.  However!  Johnny and I are finally settling.  All we need to do now is get the nursery ready (once that rommate is FINALLY gone).  His job is going great and come ( Read more... )

Second trimester came into play this past week. So far it's much better than the first. Morning sickness is easing, thankfully. I'm just now not able to squeeze into my size 7 jeans. (Thank you fat jeans in the back of my drawer! I knew I kept you for a reason ( Read more... )

I've been distant lately from a lot of people, I realize this. I shouldn't be, but for some reason I can't bring myself to act on it. I will say, though . . . there is a good reason.
