…about why it’s been so long since I’ve posted here (and it will likely be a little while longer).
I was pouring every energy into working on Hannah’s bean-bag chair for her birthday that is so fast-approaching (March 11th).

Then, in the middle of that rush, we are at a point with our addition that we can do some of the work to help out on our budget.  And I thought I could barely find time to work on the bean-bag chair!!!!  This is stretching me beyond all limits, but hopefully we can pull through, get some sanding, nail-h0le-filling, and painting done (before I die of exhaustion), and then, I will catch my breath and try to sew on the bean-bag chair like mad.  Meanwhile, we may be eating lots of hamburgers and hotdogs and whatever food I have stashed in the freezer.  And, the blog is going to have to wait, as much as I don’t like putting it on hold.

Also, for those of you who didn’t get the significance of this post, it was a sneaky way to announce that our new baby is due to arrive in August (you’d have to remember pictures from before Paul was born to know the background of this that makes this picture capable of bearing such a message).  Yes, that means we’re expecting a baby (not adopting, or getting a goat, or anything like that).  Hannah is very excited about it and wants to hold the new baby.  We are all excited about it.  I am doing fine, have been doing fine, and so on, in general.  I can tell I’ve got less energy and want to sleep  more.  I think I’m pulled down about 3 gears.  I have skin problems like I’ve never had before, whether that’s due to the pregnancy or just the way it is (these started a year ago, it’s just worse now), who knows.  And, because the OB doctors like pregnant women’s blood sugars to be lower than when they’re not pregnant, I’m back on my diabetic diet.  (Mine are always just a little high, my HBA1C was 6.5.  They want it under 6.)  That seems to be doing the trick for now, and I don’t need to take any insulin at this point.  So, I think things are going great at this point, and we hope and pray God keeps it that way.

So, be patient, and hopefully in a few days or a week, I’ll be back to more regular posting here.
