Big news! I'm pregnant!! I found out about a month ago, but I've been keeping it quiet - I wanted to tell my mom in person, when she came for a visit from the 8th-15th, and I would have felt bad telling *everybody* else first. LOL So, that's the main reason I've been so quiet lately. It's hard to write about other stuff when you can't write about the main thing going on in your life. :) Also, I've been really, really tired as a result. I've also started getting some "evening sickness", and begun feeling nauseous as the evening progresses. So it's kept me off the computer for a while. I'm nearly 9 weeks now, so hopefully this exhaustion will pass with the first trimester. Some other things have been going on as well, but they're more negative, and I just don't have the energy to go into everything yet. My mom's visit didn't go as well as I'd hoped, so I'm still recovering from that. I felt she was critical of me and the way we parent Rhiannon, so it was draining having her here, feeling she was watching me and I wasn't measuring up. So I'm recovering from that. It brought me down a bit. She left on Tuesday (after commenting that she should have made her ticket to return home two days earlier on Sunday *sigh*), and we've just been trying to get our happy vibes back. Rhiannon got sick with a cold while Mom was here, which made Rhia miserable, which made her cranky, which contributed a lot to the problems. I am moody and tired and grumpy anyway, which didn't help anything. Add the stress of having my mom watch us all go downhill, and it was not fun times over here. Anyway, I had a bunch of friends over today for a great workshop on essential oils given by a very lovely, knowledgeable woman. It turns out that she and I have a lot in common - she's a Pagan (although she didn't use that label before today! I think we converted her. LOL), she does attachment parenting, and she homeschools! So I think we'll be getting along fabulously. She will probably even come to the next Cacklfest on Saturday. So that's cool. I had a great time, got some great products, including an awesome hand-carved native-looking goddess charm, with a beautiful pregnant belly, for a necklace (and she said she wasn't Pagan. ha!). I had a blast with everyone here, and I think everyone else had a good time too. I love hosting little parties like that! :) I'll try to post a little more regularly from now on, but no promises until my energy levels return to normal (like when this baby is five years old or so LOL). Blessings to all!  Posted by Jodi Selander at 8:51 PM ...

Congratulations mama!!! YAY!! So where does that put your due date? Early October?
I feel your pain on your mother situation. My mother, according to 'her', was the PERFECT mother and I, as she puts it, am 'good at the doctor appointments and the logistical stuff'. Gee, thanks mom. You make me sound like a robot.
Anyway, I feel you ... the happy vibes will return. You know you're a fab mom and doing a great job with Rhia. I bet Rhia got sick partially due to the bad vibes your mom brought with her. Stranger things have happened.
Sending warm thoughts your way :)
Congrats little Momma.. Should we start looking for cute materinity cloths for you?
