So very many things have occurred in my little life in the past 8 months, so instead of going into detail right off the bat, I will utilize my beloved list format:

1. I became impregnated. With a baby.

2. Christian lost his job due to his employer having a nervous breakdown after getting off his meds, and closing the company.

3. Christian and a photographer, the amazing Stefan, hauled themselves up by their veritable bootstraps and started a new photo studio.

4. We sold our house and moved into a rental house close to Christian's kids.

5. I got a kick-ass job as a Sales Rep for the Chicago area for a skin care company.

6. I lost the kick-ass job when I told them I was pregnant.

7. Christian hit a year of no alcohol! (A year and a half now.)

8. I gave birth to a boy-child on August 20th. He's cute, plus he farts a whole lot, which is always funny. What else is funny is not really getting any sleep.

9. What is the funniest is that my brain has officially morphed into fresh-parent ooze, so I will:
9a. repeat myself many times in this blog
9b. not make sense much of the time
