Rejoice! It is Monday. It is my day off. Wonder of wonders, it actually looks like it will be a day completely without work. Yes, I realize that would be the definition of a "day off." Yet, it so rarely happens that way that I'm a bit shocked at the idea, and not entirely sure what to do with myself. Sleep is a given.
Or, so I thought. However, my plans to sleep in were interrupted by an early phone call from my brother - who NEVER calls me. I have a new niece! Welcome to the world, Adeline. I suspect I'll meet you in a couple of months.
By the way, half of the world seems to be pregnant right now. I don't have much to say about that except that I'm completely at a loss of how to respond to pregnancy.
Much soul-shifting is happening over here lately. Unfortunately, it's proving resistant to coherent expression. Hi, my name is Stacey, and I'm an extrovert. I barely think if I'm not conversing. So, change is hard and slow for me when I don't have regular "hanging out" time with people who can participate in the bouncing around of ideas. And while this blog is a wonderful outlet, it's not a conversation. So, please bear with me while I sputter and hint and attempt to work things out.

I know what you mean about the whole world seeming pregnant. I feel that way too. Lately it seems I'm only knitting baby items (though that's not really true). I'm on my fourth pair of baby socks this spring, and I have several pairs more to go if each pregnant friend is going to get a pair.
knitting is one fairly innocuous way to respond to pregnancy.
And it also gives you something to present at those interminable baby showers.
Congrats on a day off, mine is also Monday and it has taken quite sometime for it to actually be time off.
I am also extroverted and think best when in conversation so anytime you want to bounce or converse I would love to hear from you
Blessings
Congrats on the new neice. Adeline is lucky to have an awesome Aunt!
As for responses to pregnancy, you can't go wrong with "Really? You look great!"
