Off topic: A bit of personal news....


So we found out some news recently that's kind of thrown off my schedule and my energy.... I'm pregnant!

Yep this will be our first baby. We are very excited but boy do I feel icky! (or should I say ooky...) I'm tired, nauseous, and feeling several of the other symptoms! We are guessing that the kiddo will arrive sometime next May.... but we have yet to have our first doctors appt!!

Anyway - I am still going to be working on my project but I want to let you know that my recent burst of energy and productivity may have been short lived - lol. Hopefully my energy levels will go back up by the second trimester.... we shall see.

Tabitha.... your chair is first on my list at the moment but will not be done by the end of the month like I had hoped... I will keep you updated! Hopefully it won't be to much longer!

Hugs to all, Ara

  20. Congratulations, this is wonderful news!
    I hope the sickness goes for you soon. Make sure you eat little and often because it keeps your ketone levels right. Its hard to do i know when feeling sick, but little and often will stop you feeling worse in the end.
    I spent months upon months in and out of hospital with hypermesis (extrme nausea) and now feel for anyone that feels sick on a daily basis. It wasnt so bad with my first child, but by the third i couldn't even drink water.
    Its so exciting! I'm really pleased for you!

  22. O MY O MY O MY!!ARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is a little like finding out for my 1st time that my sis go pregnant, 11 years ago :) and since then, 8, 5 and the most recent addition, 2 years ago. Ara, we have been communicating so much that I almost felt related to you :). I am soooooooooooooooooo happy and excited for you :). But poor you, not easy huh ? You will remember this period more fondly after a few years :). Hubby must be super thrilled.

    My super efficient , almost robotic like sis became really sappy after motherhood. I just found out that she cried when her eldest uttered her 1st word and she also weep watching Iron Man 1. Huh???? I seriously can't even remember what part in IM was tissue worthy! Motherhood, it really makes you a better person :).

    CONGRATULATIONS, My dear :):)!

  30. Congratulations Ara, that's wonderful news! I have been a bit off blogland myself this month so late greetings from me. Take good care of yourself and don't stress with the blog or other things, just enjoy this time. It's so precious and goes so fast!

    I read Sans comment on becoming sappy, and I can totally relate. I cried my eyes out when watching The ugly duckling just before giving birth :-)
