it's been a while

Gosh, I must be the worst blogger ever. For one, my blog is halfway a secret, as I don't really let it be known that I blog… which kind of defeats the point of blogging. And two, I haven't blogged on my "semi-secret" blog in over four months. Whoops.

Well, all I can say is that is what pregnancy does to ya… makes you feel like you'll never have energy to do anything again. That just typing on a keyboard is too much.

The last time I blogged, I was just about to start the IVF process. Fast forward a few months, and I am pregnant with twins. Apparently both of the little embryos I was implanted with took, and in a short while (come July!) we will have twin girls.

Every now and then I think clearly or maybe the description is "in detail" about what I think this means… about what this means as far as changes in my life go, and I feel very nauseous. I'm super excited… until I think too much. And then I'm just freaked out. Which I know sounds bizarre since I actively pursued becoming pregnant with fertility help… but what can I say. I'm complicated.

On a random note, just as we were getting started with the IVF process, I came across this ornament (I am a collector of ornaments that have significance to my life), and I bought it "in faith" so to speak. If you understand the meaning behind the name of this blog "the pressed olive" then you will understand why I had to buy this ornament too…

I just wish (now that I know) that I could have found one of Olive Oyl holding TWO babies. :) 

So now that I've got the whole, "I'm pregnant" announcement out of the way, I'm going to try to do better about blogging about more interesting topics. Usually I think I don't have opinions strong enough or interesting enough to blog (and thus I forget to do so), but I enjoy writing things - even if it's for my own personal growth… 

So here's two a second trimester energy boost - where I will do my best to blog more than once every four months. :)
