Excuses, excuses....

with child

Sorry, my blogging absence continues.

In my defense, we have been away. A week in Queensland, enjoying the warm(er) weather and time out from the usual routine to relax and dig on the beach and eat pineapples and the best strawberries that I've tasted for a long, long time (amongst other things).

I really needed a break from the usual routine.

Work has been flat out, but with the really big deadline over by the end of next week, hopefully I can recover a bit of the work/life balance that I used to enjoy.

As if work wasn't enough, there's also the fact that the Koala wasn't the only one with child at Australia Zoo. Thankfully I'm over the first trimester now, and the tests have all been good, so hopefully the intermittent nausea and utterly overwhelming tiredness (regularly falling asleep minutes after C has gone to bed) will subside and I may be able to pick up the crafting, making, creative pace again.

  1. I was wondering how those important projects were going. Very excellent to hear there is light at the end of the tunnel for one, so you can do a whole lot more concentrating on the other!

  5. Yay!!  Glad to hear that all is well with you, especially great to hear your good news.

    If it's any help, going from one to two is less of an adjustment than going from none to one ;)

    Hope to catch up soon

    Well that, my friend, is the most lovely news I've heard in quite some time. I can't promise I won't rub your tummy come the last w/end in August but will do my best to restrain myself. Knowing how much is used to give me the shits when I was with child. 

    How utterly exciting.
