You'll forgive me if I have a reeeeeeeallly good reason for being away from my little blog for a bit, right?

How about a new BABY? Okay, he's not here yet...but baby BOY #3 is due in early August. So, where've you been, Ariel? I'm one of those lucky folks who experienced hyperemesis gravidarum with all three of my pregnancies. With my first two, I was in and out of the E.R. with severe vomiting and dehydration. Blech. I got lucky this time and some wonderful friends took turns caring for my boys while I rested, and I was able to avoid the ER altogether. Good news is that I've been feeling better since February, and can hopefully start making some goodies for our new little man.
