Big News!
January 24, 2010 in Miscellaneous Ramblings • Baby • Personal Projects
In my last post, I mentioned that I’d been working on something really big since mid-November, and it was taking a lot of my time and energy. That was a little bit of a lie. The truth is, I’ve been working on SEVERAL things, and I actually have a lot of cool surprises for you guys for 2010.
However.
The project I was referencing in that post is definitely the biggest, and I’m going to tell you about it today.
How about I give you some clues, first? Okay, here’s the first one:
I didn’t want to tell you about this project until I was pretty darn sure it was going to happen.
Yeah, that was a lame hint. How about another one?
This project affects two cats, a dog, five chickens, and a lot of people.
Maybe you might be feeling a little bit closer to knowing what’s going on, but just in case…
This project has involved me sitting around on the couch, watching a lot of Law & Order: SVU on Netflix streaming while trying not to puke. In case you were wondering, yes, I do sometimes watch TV while drawing. However, I don’t usually do it from the couch, and my job definitely doesn’t make me want to puke.
Got it yet?
No?
Okay, how about THIS one?
hahahahahaha. That one was pretty clear.
Yep, that’s my news: Y and I are having a baby!!! We found out in mid-December when I was five and a half weeks along, and we were both surprised and very happy. This was definitely in the plans for 2010, but we were very lucky to have it happen in 2009 instead.
So here are the details:
- I am now 11 weeks pregnant, and Little Stinker is due August 16th.
- We have had two ultrasounds, and the last one was really cool: the baby was actually moving around in there quite a bit, and we got to hear the heartbeat!
- This baby has knocked me on my keister. I didn’t have enough energy to tweet (thanks to everyone who asked where the heck I was, by the way!), let alone blog, which is why I seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Thank goodness the holidays are a slow season for business-related projects! I’m starting to get my energy back, though the 24/7 nausea is still around. And that, combined with the fact that I don’t have to hide this news anymore, means I’ll be around again. :)
- We don’t know the sex, but we definitely want to find out. The appointment for this is in late March. We don’t particularly care whether it’s a boy or a girl, but we can’t wait to find out.
- The baby will be a Leo born in the year of the Tiger. Apparently this is very good news because the baby will get along with both Y and I. As my friend Lisa said, it will be a Liger. And really, that’s just awesome.
- Our parents are very, very excited.
- I will be taking a maternity leave, but I haven’t quite got the details of that worked out yet. If you have a project you’re thinking of starting after August, though, you might want to contact me sooner rather than later!
I think that’s it! I’m really, really excited to make a lot of cool things for this kid! Whoohoo!!

Woohoo!!! I knew after hint #1 :) Congrats!!
And super excited to have another blogger I can follow along while I experience the same thing! I am due on Aug 4th. I know all about being knocked on my keister as Dec/Jan have been super hard. I’m not sure how I made ‘Christmas’ happen – but I will tell you the decorations are still up! I’m so far behind in all of life and work right now and still can’t find the motivation. I hear one of these days I’m going to wake up and my symptoms be magically gone…. crossing my fingers that day is soon :)
Can’t wait to read your updates – and of course see all your other new designs/projects!

Congrats! I have followed you here since the day you left Weddingbee. It does seem like a lot of the bees are expecting little bees nowaday. You are due just 2 weeks after my expected due date (8/1/2010). I just got over my nausea a couple of weeks ago, so your bouts should be ending soon as you enter 2nd trimester, at least hopefully. Very exciting!
