Still alive! (just...)

[taralynden]

No fic right now, I'm afraid, nor any for the foreseeable short term, but I am still out here somewhere!

Truly no need to read this unless you're curious about my long silence.

I'm so happy for you! I worried a bit after the long silence, so it's great that all is working out! (Well, if one ignores the morning sickness, but that's just a thing we woman have to live with I guess ;) )

Don't worry about us and writing. We'll stay around until you have more time. Though, I guess with a child - son / daughter? - that will not be very soon. ;) They tend to eat up time.

I really hope that the hospital visit wasn't anything serious. Stay healthy and I wish you the very very best for the birth.

Keep us updated! :D

Thanks :) The silence has been longer than I would have liked, but RL just hasn't let up.

The bunnies are all hibernating right now (hard to plot when you're throwing up/falling asleep) and will probably stay dormant for awhile now, but we'll see. You never know. :)

Hospital visit wasn't fun, and I have to go back after baby's born to get things sorted which won't be fun either, but if I can just avoid any more attacks between now and then I'll be very grateful.

At least RL has brought you joy and good news. ;)

*grin* Very true. Just relax and let things be. If you need until the little ones are out of school, that's fine in my books too. ;)

Will you deliver inside a hospital? I hope that the morning sickness ends soon for you. I haven't yet experienced pregnancy so... surely it has to end before the delivery? XD

Oh God! That's wonderful news!!!! (to be perfectly honest I was expecting a post like this XD What comes after a honey moon? Lil babus <3 )Congratulations!!! I wish you and your growing family all the love and happiness in the world! Now's your time to kick back, relax and let your hubby pamper you :D I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes without any problems! Your fans will be waiting eagerly for the next post that (hopefully) will introduce us to your little ray of sunshine! And whenever you decide to come back with a story, your fans will be right here ^_^

:) Yes, we were hoping for kids, and we've been blessed pretty quickly. Hubby is a real gem; I've been hopeless for most of the past 7 months and he's taken on the cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping without complaint (not always getting it right, but I'm too grateful to point that out!).

There will eventually be more fic, I'm sure. There are too many WIPs on my harddrive too close to completion not to share them, I just don't have the time/energy right now. But the time will come! And at least I know there are a few stalwarts out there still interested :)

Congratulations! What wonderful news! It's marvelous that you will have a little ray of sunshine so soon- I hope your last month is much more comfortable than the first few (although, now that I think about it, the last month generally isn't...maybe you'll buck the trend?). Looking forward to more news, whatever the kind, and good luck!

Thank you :) Baby's due in... well, seven days now, but since baby can't see a calendar it's basically any time now. Third trimester (apart from the gallbladder issues which I wouldn't wish on anyone) has definitely been the most comfortable part and if I can just avoid any more attacks until they take the organ out then I should be just fine.

Baby, meanwhile, comes up as "textbook"-fine with every test and assessment, so that's a relief. :)

Oh, that's fantastic! It must be a true relief to know that everything is fine in there, no matter what else is troubling you. Seven days? Goodness gracious, again I say 'good luck!'Have a nice, relaxing week as you wait. :)

Oh my goodness, so much love to you. I've been there -- with the awful, nauseous way beyond trimester 1 pregnancy (twice, actually, ugh). So many thought and prayers and love and positive energy heading your way.

It is really good to hear from you. Hope all goes more smoothly from here. I know I'm half a world away, but is there anything I can do beyond commiserating?

[taralynden]

Thanks *hugs* Yes, so much for morning sickness being only in the first 12-14 weeks. Although the real shock to me was discovering what *real* indigestion can do to you. When they told me the massive pain in my chest and across my back and the inability to breathe were all due to some undercooked broccoli I'd eaten 7 hours earlier I have to say I didn't initially believe it. I've learned better.

Warm thoughts and prayers are much appreciated and are plenty :) I'm on a strict diet now to manage the gallbladder until they remove it, and hopefully that will help me avoid any more hospital visits until then. For now I'm just waiting for baby to decide it's time to come, which could be any day now. One thing at a time :)

So glad to hear from you. I'm really sorry things have been so hard for you. My sister in law went through similar experience with all three of her babies. Put her in hospital every time. Totally worth it though as they're now beautiful and healthy. She included. I have every faith that things will work out and I send good thoughts for a smooth birth.

*many hugs* if there's anything we can do here please let us know. This is more than just caring about your writing we care about you. Please take care of yourself and rest lots. Don't worry about not writing as you can see many still stick around.

Here should need us :3 <3

[taralynden]

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Yes I think baby will be worth it - and it's a blessing to know that while I've been miserable, baby seems to be absolutely fine - and once they remove my gallbladder at least I won't have that to worry about for any future pregnancies (apparently the symptoms typically get worse with successive pregnancies *shudder*)

Thank you so much for your good thoughts; I appreciate them :)

This week I'm back on an even keel, following the diet regime I've been given (I've actually lost 10kg during this pregnancy, rather than putting anything on, and by the time baby's out it'll be more than that so there's one good thing!) and just playing the waiting game. Baby is due on Sunday, which means absolutely nothing - it will happen when it does :)
