I'm back!

At least I think I am. I'm back for now. How's that?

So, I never planned to take a four month break from blogging. It was kind of rude of me to just bugger off, wasn’t it? It just sort of happened. It obviously isn’t a coincidence that I stopped blogging around the same time I found out I was pregnant. Part of me wanted to share my experience with fertility treatment and going through the first trimester with you, but I didn’t think I had the strength to be open about the process if something didn’t work out or worse, if something went wrong. The thought just seemed too much to bear. So I took some time, read other people’s blogs, read more novels (code for watched more Netflix, obviously) and tried to be relaxed which I have discovered goes against every fibre of my being.

I’ve had some sweet emails reminding me that maybe I should start blogging again, and my sweet husband tells me the same thing all the time. Until today I just wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t feel like I had anything to offer. I've been feeling so anxious and nauseous and tired but also so elated that some nights its all I can do to crawl into bed. I do, however, love being creative. I love the challenge of thinking of new ways to present the little things that make life special. I love taking millions of pictures of my favourite girl and sharing hundreds of them with my friends and family through this blog. Also, I know you want daily updates on how my bump is growing…maybe a live belly cam…

I promise not to do that. I pinky swear, in fact.

This is an exciting time for my little family and I want to share it with the ones we love most. So, I hope I haven’t stayed away too long. You’ll have me back, right?
