All righty then...
I got the impression that some of you have been wondering what's up with the posting frequency, or infrequency as the case may be, here at the bearing blog.
Time to make excuses! Or, rather, an excuse. The fifth of its kind!
An excuse which should show up, oh, around mid-January 2014, but which is already making itself -- I mean, himself or herself -- plenty evident around here.
Pass the saltines and ginger tea.
And maybe a little later, the champagne!

How did the kids take it, you ask?
- The 12-year-old: I knew something was up when you kept skipping dinner.
- The 9-year-old: I thought you were starting to look fat!
- The 6-year-old: Mama, I'm so proud of you!
- The 3-year-old: New babies can drink cow milk, you know.
I have some time to work on that last one. Meanwhilllllllzzzzzzz.......

Just when my list of pregnant mamas to pray for was starting to get skimpy.... So happy to add you to the list!

Thank you!
I could use the prayers, I bet.

Hurray! Congrats! Feel better soon! Can you tolerate protein with your saltines and ginger tea?
Posted by: Jamie | 10 June 2013 at 09:49 PM
No problem eating protein, at least in form of eggs, cheese, and plain yogurt. Worry not. The saltine intake has risen, however.

Congratulations!! Sorry to hear that you are having a rough first trimester though. I hope it starts to fade soon!
P.S. you are about 6 weeks behind me - I'm due at the beginning of Dec. :-)

Congratulations! Very wonderful news!

Ha, it's your daughter who has the right response. Of course!
Posted by: MrsDarwin | 11 June 2013 at 11:22 AM
For MrsDarwin's sake, I will clarify that my daughter is the 6yo.

Congratulations! I am one week out of the land of pregnancy--which is still hard to wrap my mind around--and I agree the six year old's response is the best. I'll add what my girls tell me when I was hugging the toilet, be brave!

Congratulations!!!

I was thinking that the 6yo must be the girl, but wasn't positive :) Congratulations congratulations!!
You and Mrs Darwin, expecting together :) Yay!
