But now I'm back, not exactly full of beans, but back, and I need to get on with it. I've always been a bit iffy with change, not all change, but the big life changers always have a strange impact on me, send me back into my shell, not wanting to talk to people, especially friends and family. So I go a little quiet, and then I guess I process the change, figure it out, and get back on with it.
So, what's the big change you ask (or not if you don't really give a monkeys or have been on IG recently), it's the biggest kind (if my memory of last time is even slightly correct). In March of next year we will be adding this little person to our family (all things being well).
It's exciting, and a bit daunting. Our daughter has just started school, and we'll be heading back into the lack of sleep, stinky nappy stage, all change, and back nearly 5 years. Hopefully I will have the energy in the next few weeks and months to get back into the swing of sewing, and catch up with my already slightly late commitments, I think so, I just need a little focus.
Hopefully see you here again in less than another month...

Good luck! Do you know what flavour this one is yet?
ReplyDeleteCongrats and good luck! I can echo many of your sentiments about change and being tired after fqr...but now you know why, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My son and his wife just gave me an ultrasound picture of my first grandbaby, and he/she looks very much like yours! They have the same shadowy non-distinct features! Best wishes for all that's ahead.
ReplyDeletecongratulations :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I went back with a 5 nearly 6 year gap and is been great! A bit of a shock to my system, but I think I was so much more relaxed.
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations Ange!! I'm totally the same with change so I know exactly what you mean. It will all be awesome :)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHappy that you are back Ange - it's a good change, even if it does have to be squeezed out of your undercarriage ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hope you're having a better time of it than I am.... lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ange! Yes, this is definitely a big (and exciting!) change.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteYay for you - how exciting!!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, congratulations! I am the very same with the big life changers! I think I was even in denial that I was about to have a baby while I was being induced in hospital! At least your little one will be able to help you a bit. I think it's a nice age gap too - it's the same as my brother and I. Hope you feel a bit perkier soon.x
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo...... great news. I hope your energy returns soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ange, daunting but so exciting! I hope you start to feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Put your feet up...
ReplyDeleteWhat an honest post Ange - I don't know you that well but I think you'll be absolutely fine. Take your time..go away, and we'll all be here cheering you on :)
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!! I'm a keep-my-own-counsel kind of girl so I get where you're at/have been.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope things are on a more even keel for you soonest.
ReplyDeleteThat was my idea!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations sweetie xxx
Congratulations to you and your family. Wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Change is always unsettling and takes time to ajust to.
ReplyDeleteI had wondered why you had sort of vanished - now it all makes perfect sense. Congratulations and I hope that all goes well for you and your family. I'm happy to baby sit and change nappies!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've just finished spending the day celebrating a year since our lives changed again after over four years. I won't lie to you, it's had it's challenges (mainly pnd) but every time I look at my little girls I smile and contemplate doing it again! (Madness I know! )
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations! Yes it does feel like going back to square 1 but we have a 4 year gap and it worked really well - older sibling can understand that a baby needs looking after and hopefully you won't get as many jealousy issues. Also baby will be highly entertained by his/her big sister! The school routine gets you out of the house and somehow kept me much more sane than first time round. Hope you are past the sicky stage - if so, get sewing now because there's going to be a big sewing gap coming up!! V excited for you x
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful news! I hope you feel more energetic soon too.
ReplyDeleteWhat great news, congratulations! I have 4 and a half year gaps (twice) and it worked great with the older one being that bit more independent. Enjoy now you've found a bit of mental balance again, hope you get back to sewing again, too.
ReplyDeleteBabies are the best excuse for sewing... Set up some hand projects ready.... Congratulations...
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again, Angela! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats again, Angela! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm not surprised you've felt the need of a bit of a break. I have 4.5 years between my second and third, which actually turned out to be a lovely gap as my elder two were big enough to be a bit more self-sufficient and enjoy helping, and having to walk to and from school gave so much more natural shape to the day (I struggled to get dressed in the morning for weeks first time around). Hope the school start is going well too!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, congratulations! That's such wonderful news.
ReplyDeletecongratulations Angela! That's fantastic!
