YES!

YES - I'm alive!
YES - I've been the world's worst blogger for at least 6 months.
YES - I have an excuse (several really).
YES - I am aware that most of you have given up on me AND this blog.
YES - Some of you have left comments that I didn't notice until now.
YES - I've avoided this blog like the plague for a long time.
YES - I'm going to make every effort to get back on the blogging wagon.
YES - I refuse to promise that my efforts will do any good.
And.....YES...that ticker up there is for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me start with an apology for no photos in my return debut post. I've got nothing and it was a last minute decision.

Moving on to my excuses....all of which are extremely valid as I'm sure you'll agree.
*first of all, our computer got very sick with a virus and had to spend some time at the doctors so rather than uploading pictures to Josh's laptop everyday, that he would eventually force me to remove, I just said to heck with it!
*While away at the doctor, my computer's memory was cleared and restored and I've lost every single blog address I had in my favorites because of that (and because I had been too lazy to add them to my blog or put them on delicious or one of those other handy things that I have no idea about.) So if you're reading this and I've ever visited or commented on your blog, please leave your blog address in a comment so that I can add it back to my blog list. Please!
*The holidays were very busy, too. Let's not forget that! I was feeling down. Didn't decorate and things around here were too boring to talk about on a blog.
*About half way through January to halfway through February, I was not feeling so hot. Thank God I wasn't in as rough of shape as the computer, but I was bed bound for a few weeks!
*Since then I've been exhausted and sleeping a lot. (It's a low iron situation and we're working on it.)
*Since beginning to feel better toward the end of February/beginning of March, I've been paranoid that if I blogged I'd leak the secret and jinx us.
*In March, we started remodeling the attic to make room for Baby Girl Myers and things have pretty much been non-stop since then. I think the iron is beginning to take effect, but who would know when we are going, going, going?

So I figured that since we found out this week that Baby Myers is a girl and we also took the plunge with a registry, I might as well get back on here and share the news. I do hope that if you read this you'll pray for us. I never feel safe as I'm sure many of you can understand. We are SUPER excited though and trying to just be happy and worry-free as best we can, as we know that's best for the little one.

I think this should cover it for shocking news and elaborate excuses. I'm going to do my best to be back tomorrow....with something!!! Maybe you can help out with names??!!
