Two reasons:
1) I've run out of things to say about editing.
2) I'm pregnant, and it's hard to come up with new things to say about editing when you spend all of your free time sleeping or trying to keep from throwing up.

Congratulations to you both! Guess it was a pregnant pause then...

The best excuse for blog neglecting I can think of! Congratulations - that's fantastic news!
Posted by: Cheri | June 22, 2009 at 05:22 PM
Congratulations!!! Please make sure that your offspring has the editing gene. The world is desperately in need of more editors.

I've been missing your brilliant posts, but I'm glad to hear that you're helping to populate the world with brilliant people. (So sorry about the morning-sickness, exhaustion, etc. though.)

Congrats! You'll feel better soon. But then comes the 3rd trimester, and you'll begin to feel like shit once more. What a miracle... Really, it is all worth it. I'm cooking baby #4 with only 10 more weeks to go. You'll survive. Sleep while you can.

Yay! Congratulations! May the rest of your pregnancy be heartburn/nausea/cankle-free and may your child sleep through the night from the moment he or she is born!

Oooh! Congratulations...I found pregnancy and parenthood to be very hard on my waistline, but very good for my organizational skills and discipline. So, don't give up on those YA-novel dreams (though you're probably going to want to write picture books soon, as well).
