Happy proof of life

[hiyacynth]

Hello, dear Flist! I exist! I've been even more quiet than usual on the LJ front for a couple reasons.

The first is the same one that's been going on all year-I'm not actively fannish about much these days. Supernatural hiatus draws to a close, and I just haven't been reading fic or engaging with fandom in a long time. I did find myself overcome

I could not be happier to hear this from you. I was just about to send you an email to check-in and here you are...with absolutely wonderful news! On another note, any luck swapping for things?

[hiyacynth]

Thank you! And thanks for the early support :-)

I haven't had a chance to get anything swapable selected and photographed, so no progress on the swap mama front, but I'm hoping to enlist my niece's help with that while she's here.

How're you??

Doing well, getting bigger. Kid is kicking up a storm - which is equal parts amazing and creepy. It's amazing to think he could be here as early as 10 weeks from now (I'm at 29 weeks this Sunday, so anything between 38 and 40 weeks for me seems like a free-for-all for possible labor) - yikes! We have some serious organizing to get done. Best of luck on posting pics when you're niece gets to town - it's much easier to do than it seems. I'll be in touch to keep checking on you!!

Wow, ten weeks left. That's madness! :-) I'm at the stage you described earlier, where I can tell I'm pregnant, but to acquaintances and passers-by, I just look 10 pounds heavier. When I suck in my stomach now, it looks like it did three months ago, minus the sucking in. Am eager to move past this stage.

Good luck with your organization! I must admit, I am terrified of that task. My husband, bless his soul, has little to no concern or motivation about the question of where the hell everything is going to go.

I know, once I start putting it into weeks, I get a little more freaked...but deep breaths, deeeep breaths. I seem to have taken up your husband's outlook, I'm content to shove everything in the basement, out of sight - while my husband is more concerned with how the heck is this all gonna fit?

Oh yeah, two more good sites for baby deals - zulily.com and babysteals.com - both have daily offers for items at half to 60% off...it's free to sign up with them and they just send a daily email to let you know what the deal is for the day. I've gotten stuff from both and they're definitely worthy of checking out. Alright - gotta go find a snack now, lil man is hungry AGAIN. I'm at almost 23 lbs gained, and still have at least 10 weeks to go - I really can't imagine adding another 10 lbs to this belly (nor does my back want to hear this news), but they say, as unbelieveable as it is, it happens.
