...and I owe you an apology! I know I pretty much dropped off the
face of TB oh, about, a trimester ago, give or take. There is so much
news I need to get caught up on (CONGRATS AEGIS!! Did Kelnyc have her
baby yet?) and I miss all of you.
I can't believe that I'm past V-day, almost into 3rd tri, and as of today have only 100 days to go. The reason I haven't been on TB is because I've had the most insane summer of my life (having nothing to do with the pregnancy). My boss was on maternity leave until mid-August, which meant that rather than working part-time off the farm, I was working full-time off the farm... during the farm's busiest season of the year... So, between the office and the farm, I've been working 10-14 hour days, 7 days a week. (Sadly, I'm not even exaggerating when I say that.)
Usually I'd have some time at my office job to check in here, but I literally have had no spare moments for the past three -- or is it four -- months. (And if I did, I spent them sleeping!) I'm not sure things will slow down until I take off for maternity leave in November... But if any oldtimers want to keep up on FB (which is much easier to check on my phone, and which I actually legitimately use at work because I work at a newspaper and use it for news tips too!) please PM me. I'd love to see all those beautiful bumps and babies
So that is all a long way of saying... Hi. I've missed you all. And now I'm going to spend the few minutes I have before my next meeting seeing what babies and BFPs I've missedSevere MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
