In and effort to end the pity party I've been throwing for myself lately, I decided to do something that's been the cause of some stress around here: update the blog. Because pictures will take far too long, though, I will just be writing today.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you already know I'm pregnant, which is my main excuse for any kind of deficiencies in my life as of late (deficiencies including, but not limited to: energy, cleanliness, good humor, beauty, and, of course, blogging). All energy the past couple of months has gone to a) growing a baby, and b) completing school work to earn a paycheck. I'm still going strong with letter a, but I am not teaching a class this cycle, so I'm hoping to catch up with some other things.

But since Ethan just woke up from his nap and is crying rather pathetically, I guess that will have to wait...
