I apologize for the long hiatus, but much has been happening around here and I frankly wasn’t up to the task of documentation. I’ve been trying to come up with a clever way to reveal the news, but I feel that there is no way to do it other than just say it.

I am thrilled to announce that I’m pregnant. . . . with twins!!

Shawn and I are both excited and overwhelmed by the news and are looking forward to exponentially expanding Team Colley. I’m currently 15 weeks along and we have an estimated due date of July 5, 2011. Shawn is already planning future birthday pyrotechnic displays.

I’ve been battling some major morning (all day & night) sickness for the first trimester, but its seeming to slowly taper off this past week or so. I won’t get into the details, but brutal is the only word I can use to describe it. I am eternally grateful to Shawn for taking care of me, Walter, and everything else for the past few months while I was out of commission. He has definitely been my rock.

I am gradually feeling more like a human again, so I hope to be able to get back to some form of my old routine, including more regular postings here. I promise not to become a “mommy blogger” but I will be keeping you informed about this new facet in our lives.
