Hey ladies!

It's legit been about a year I think since I've been posting, and I think it's time to come back.

I've kept in touch with some of you via Instagram and Facebook and appreciate all the love! busybodyk shared her birth story with me in a PM here, which lured me back, although I've been thinking about you guys a lot anyway, especially with the huge GTG in Denver that I'm so sad I missed out on!

So, I took my break to concentrate on some personal things -- changing my career path, and dealing with some other stresses in my life. I left my job and have been working towards starting a business venture with a good friend/client of mine, and we got pretty close to securing an investor a couple times, but we are still working on it. Although that sucks, I've went back to freelancing which is what I have done for the last 8 years (minus 2 years where I worked for a company full time). Although I miss aspects of my job, especially the travel, I am so much happier with my decision. Also, as some of you know, I am pregnant! It took a little over a year, which at first of course didn't bother me but definitely made me worry the longer it was taking. I was thisclose to starting fertility drugs (clomid). Literally, I had the prescription filled, and was going to wait until we returned from a vacation to start taking it. After coming back from our trip to Niagara Falls, I took a pregnancy test just to "be sure" before taking the pills, and low and behold I was pregnant! So that was in November, which was pretty amazing - both starting back to my freelance gig full time and finding out that news in the same month!

I'm now 23.5 weeks along (24 weeks Friday), and feeling really good. My due date is July 24th, and officially we are "team green". Un-officially, we do know the sex, but are keeping it a secret and doing a surprise gender reveal at my baby shower in May. I wanted to avoid a lot of blue or pink clothing gifts, and since no one attending the shower even knows there will be a reveal, I think it'll be extra fun. Especially for our moms!

Since working at home I don't get dressed *every* day, but I'm looking forward to participating more on here, and getting inspired by everyone else here. Yay!

Congratulations on everything! Good to see you in these parts. I have a friend coming over to discuss me freelancing tonight. It's a very exciting feeling, but yes you very rarely get dressed. I've missed you.

thank you!!

FormerCityGirl - Yes, luckily I do have to meet clients and I still make a point to attend industry events, so that keeps me getting dressed up some days. But at least half the week I'm in sweats or leggings, or stay in my PJs until 3pm when I have to get dressed to run an errand. LOL

Our new street has an ad agency, photo studio, and one of my good friends works at both. Neither has a dress code. They're about 50 ft from both of us and she wants me to freelance for them and some other places. I'm already in a casual industry. I may never get dressed up again. I was barefoot at our party all night last Friday and made a huge connection that could lead to something big. This whole block is creative.
