my absence

Sorry I haven't been communicating at all since coming home from NCECA. I had grand plans of living in the studio but I haven't been in the studio for more than 10 mins since coming home. Where have I been? I've been huddled over the toilet or sleeping. Swine flu? bird flu? nope, it's baby flu! Turns out that Jake and I are 8.5 weeks pregnant. We were pretty shocked, stoked, and nervous all wrapped into 1. I know I should have waited another 3-4 weeks before talking about it, but I've had a hard time not telling people or thinking about it. First time I have been thankful that I don't have a full time job, since I have been sleeping 15hrs a day. This pregnancy thing is no joke. So anyone reading this, need some good vibes and crossing our fingers that it is a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby by December 6th. Which means I will be in the middle of my 2nd semester at Penland... I'm not sure how that is going to work out :( I may have to miss the Ayumi Horie Workshop, but hopefully I'm more active by then. So that's the big news from north florida and i'll have ultra sound pictures by friday :) The bathroom is calling my name.

Hey congratulations!!! Don't you mean trimester? Hell I don't know? I hope you still come to Penland, that kid would be getting lots of creative energy.

Oh yes, trimester. You can tell i've been in school longer than hip with this baby thing :) Jake and my family say I'll be running around in no time, just need to get my head out of the toilet first. :) Thanks ron!
