I.O.U.

I've been feeling very guilty since I haven't posted anything in close to a month.  There are a few reasons, none of them great...but enough to keep me away.  Mostly I'm exhausted by the time I get home from work and even typing feels like it would require too much energy. 

Anyhow, I owe you.  I owe your blogs a visit...I think about many of you often and wonder how you're doing and feel very crummy that l've fallen behind on your blogs.  And, I owe you all a decent post someday soon.  I owe you because I feel like this is the place and the community that saw me through some of my darkest days.

So, I will write more soon...probably on one of these topics that has been swimming around in my head for awhile:

*Start with a Dot...

*The Reason

*11(ish) week ultrasound appointment

*Things that keep me up at night

*Waterworks

*Impulsions (is that a word?) and aversions

Anyhow, until then I want you to know:

1. I am still pregnant!!!  (Yay and phew!)

2. I am so in love with this little person.

3. Conferences start on Friday and I am SO NOT READY!!!  This is going to be a busy week and I may not get around to any posts until the weekend...unless I am procrastinating...which is a very real possibility.  So stay tuned.

Until then, check out this cute baby!!!

 

This is Dot when Dot was still just a dot.  Or a tube, I guess.  These photos are from our first appointment at 6.5 weeks.  We got to see the heartbeat, tube of a baby, and the yolk sack.

 

Can you believe how much this kid grew in a month?!?!  This was this past Tuesday at 10 weeks 5 days.  I kind of think we are a little further (like a week) along because I've had some conflicting measurements...and, well, I'm pretty darn sure I know EXACTLY when this baby was made (within 72 hours).  Anyway...how cute are those little crossed feet?
