"Babies are such a nice way to start people." ~Don Herrold

I would like to share some lovely news with you, dear followers. You may have noticed my hiatus from blogging (not that I was very regular at it). Considering how hectic my fall months had been, I needed a break from pretty much everything. There were nights I was too tired to do anything except sit on the couch and stare at the TV. Me, the Queen of over-committing but still getting it all done, did nothing. It still sounds like a joke to me!

The reason for all of this? Hubby and I are expecting our first child next June! It's been a tiring and nauseating few months, but now that I've hit the 4 month mark, I seem to be feeling a little more like my old self. I don't know that I will be doing as much crafting as I'd like (even for an adorable nursery), but I'll certainly share as much as I can over the next few months!

We do hope to find out the sex of Baby Pickles in January (we nicknamed it pickles because it looked like one on the ultrasound pic and I kept eating pickles like they were salvation in a jar) and our nursery decision will be based on that.

So happy holidays to my wonderful readers! I hope 2011 has been a great year for you and that 2012 will be even better!
