Y.A.'s Baby?

I know you're getting close Y.A. and saw you posted an article earlier today. Are you still majorly preggers or have you had that little one yet? Either way, hope all is well! Let us know as I'm sure many of us are sending our thoughts your way.

I can't speak for Y.A. (Is there a pregnant Y.A.?). But if you mean the very pregnant J.A....I am still hanging in there, though it's getting close. I'm only working with one client who knows my situation. It's been a difficult year for writing with all my pregnancy issues, so I am anxious to get back into gear at some point.

I've actually been spending a lot of time gathering source materials and references for my long maternity leave when I should be able to devote more time to writing...if that's possible with a toddler and a newborn!

Technically, it could be any day (feels that way!), but I'm not actually due until early April. I'm pretty excited.

Thanks for asking! --JA

Hang in there. I remember those last weeks feel like forever.

Anna Katerina, born March 31st. 7 pounds, 4 ounces.

She is healthy and beautiful! Despite the fact that she is a very good baby...I can't manage to write! I just can't seem to take my eyes off her or put her down for long! JA

Congratulations! She sounds precious. Enjoy your time and try not to stress on writing until you're ready.

I'm new here, but I also wanted to congratulate you.

Babies are wonderful and beautiful and magical and miraculous.

Writing will be here forever. Enjoy your new baby!
