I noticed several people have stopped by here recently, and I’m sure a few of you have wondered where I buggered off to for the last few weeks. I’ve been debating whether to write this post or just start blogging again and act like nothing happened. But eventually, I’m gonna have to spill the beans, so here goes:

I’m pregnant! Sometime around Jan. 19, my little super genius is going to have a brother or a sister.

For the first trimester, we’ll be calling my little bundle of joy The Parasite, since he or she is sucking the life out of me. On top of the “morning” (all-day) sickness and the constant exhaustion, I had to quit smoking again (for good this time … I swear). I’m finally past the nicotine withdrawals, and I’ve cut down my coffee consumption from half a pot to one cup a day. Yeah, it was amazingly unhealthy, but I used to be so much more productive.

So I haven’t had the energy or the motivation to work on my blog. Or do much of anything besides lay on the couch. Oh, and eat. You know your life is seriously out of whack when you wake up at 3 a.m. to eat.

The good news is, I haven’t felt completely wretched the past couple of days, so I’m going to try to get back into the swing of things very soon. In the meantime, any suggestions on a search-friendly baby name?
