I know most of you will say I likely don't have to and really I'm not coming here for that but I do feel the need to atleast explain myself a bit.
Those that have been with COL for over a year know that I am normally much more active and participating than I have been lately. I do check in atleast once a day but I wish I could more. I know I will be able to soon. I develop something in my pregnancy called SPD SPD . I had it with my last child but didn't with the other two. I was hoping I wouldnt this time but it has it and hit hard. I wont go into the details you can follow the link if you want more info but it should all go away after the preganancy (8 weeks 6 days and counting ;)). I expect to be back to a more nomral me at that time.
I truly appreciate the emails and GR messages you have all sent checking in on me. I don't mean to neglect the group and I miss it and being able to get into the discussions more. I am really grateful for Holli and the help she has been as well as each of you who have taking a sense of ownership of the group and taken time to keep threads updated and greeting new people and discussing some great books. I love that sense of sisterhood!

I am working on something I HOPE people will enjoy for our 2nd anniversary give back (if I can work out the details).
I just saw that people were hoping to do the secret chick birthday exchange again. I wasn't sure anyone would be but if enough are I would love to tweat it a bit and really make it work. I felt bad last year when a couple chicks didn't get their goodies because some flaked out and I dont want that to happen again. I loved it and would be willing to do it again if committed people wanted to take part.

Anyways, thanks again for being patient with me and know I haven't totally faded into the background. I will be in full swing of things soon with a new little chick under my wings.

Kathryn (kathrynh) I have only been a member a few months, so I have little history, but I do so appreciate your sharing with us how you are. My daughter is having her first baby in March and we are thrilled. Here you are with baby number 4! Bless you! This is truly a group that continues with the fun of all we have in common and you are nestled safely among us even though your written words aren't as often as you think they should be. I am very anxious to participate in the secret chick birthday exchange. Take your time at working out the details and just relax as much is possible with a busy family and all else and we will all keep you in our thoughts and good wishes.

Deb Obrien | 23 comments Tera. So sorry to hear of your infirmary. You should be back good as new in a few weeks...I am trying to be more of a participant these days with Goodreads instead of a lurker. I have been absent way too long. Happy day when your baby comes........
Deb

Oh Marsha no no no dont think that at all. I didn't take it that way ever. I am glad you brought up the thread because it was fun and I am always trying something new and love to hear when something worked. I didn't feel pressure or anything from you please know that.

Leslie Hickman (bkread2) | 233 comments No worries, I was feeling just as guilty since I've been only lurking as well. I think we all understand that sometimes life just gets in the way. I hope that your health improves and that all goes well with you!! I hope like for myself that we have already had the hard times this year pass us by!!

Nancy Yeah life does get in the way, doesn't it!? Good grief, I can't imagine struggling with SPD and still trying to keep up with home and three kids! It will all wait. Bless you. In our hearts, thoughts, prayers...
