Last November, R and I got engaged, so it seems fitting that this November should bring its own news: we’re having a baby.
I love the autumn, don’t you?
If you’ve been been feeling a bit neglected, looking for a bit more writing, wondering why I haven’t sent you any emails or have noticed that I’ve been hedging a bit when you ask how I am, that’s why. It turns out that being pregnant is attention-consuming. Who knew?
Everything’s fine so far, and I’m feeling a bit more on-target these days than I have the last couple of months, especially with the break on the other side of the world, so business as usual to come, I hope. At least re: writing and so forth. The whole “an additional small noisy person joining the household” maybe not so much usual. I’ll keep you posted on that one.

Blimey, how can you so casually throw about *that* news?! Congratulations!
Ha! It is excellent news, isn’t it? I think the expression on the lamb’s face covers my initial surprise:) We’re delighted.
(Sent you a note a while back – crossed email addresses, I think. Hope you got it!)
Congratulations!
re: “How soon?” question from Carla:
Late April by the current count, so there’s a ways to go yet.
