Hiatus

I took a short(ish) break from blogging and most of civilization, my friend count went from 3 to 2 in the last month because I've been so MIA. I'm alive and well again and a teeny bit behind in school and work from my bed rest. I know that being on bed rest sounds like I had plenty of time to do homework and blog and get things done but unfortunately when you have an untreatable stomach virus along with a very active baby not a lot of moving or eating can get done. 

Since I last spoke or typed to all of you my stomach finally popped out and I look like an actual pregnant person. Just yesterday my doctor told me to "cool it on the eating", I may have gone a bit overboard once I was allowed to eat food again. Little does my doctor know that I have zero self control and a very cool baby shower being thrown this weekend. An update on the pregnancy is that my baby is not taking after me and she is huge and almost as long as I was when I was born. She'll be hitting seventeen inches within the next week and I was born at eighteen. I will be 33 weeks tomorrow (8 months), so I have seven more weeks of accidentally peeing my pants at work. 

School wise I wish I didn't get so behind from being sick but I'm caught up for the most part and so far it looks like I'm going to finish up the semester before Delilah decides to be released into the world. This is the second time I've had an online class and I've officially learned my lesson and will stay away from those. Online classes weren't meant for people who constantly forget everything. If I was more organized and grown up I would for sure ace online classes but sadly I'm slightly immature and a huge mess so they haven't worked out for me. If the last three sentences made you relate to me in any sort of way then please don't take online classes either, it probably won't work out. Aside from the discouragement if you are like me but you are very sure you'll be able to handle work online then try one class in the fall and see how you do.

I promise I won't be disappearing again any time soon so please look out for something in the next couple of days. Until next time!

P.S. I am so obsessed with my maternity photos so sorry you'll probably be seeing more of them.
