Where in the world is The Glamorous Housewife?

Well kittens, its been a long time! How to explain where Ive been?

We all go through periods of discovery about ourselves. Sometimes this discovery is fun and exciting, other times the journey is through the dark and unknown. The last 6 months have been the later for me. I want this blog to be full of glamour and beauty and style, and yet I wasnt living the life that my blog represents, so I stopped. There was no reason to burden you, dear readers, with my problems- for they were only problems with trying to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be, they were not 'real' problems such as divorce, death, or unemployment.

But as it is said in the musical Carousel: 'At the end of the storm comes the golden sky and the sweet silver song, of the lark'. I believe my existential storm is over, and the warmth of the sun is beginning to shine its light on my psyche.

And with that said, I have some wonderful news!

I'm PREGNANT!

Yes, its true, I am 18 weeks pregnant and totally thrilled! You may recall I already have two children- Mason age 8 and Toby age 6. They are my pride and joy and I thought my husband and I were done having babies. But part of the discovery about myself was the deep desire to have another baby, and my husband agreed! It took much longer to get pregnant this time then with the other two, which was part of my angst. And then once I got pregnant I was basically on bed rest with 'morning' sickness- which lasted all day for the first 14 weeks! I have only been feeling better for about two weeks, and I am still occasionally sick from time to time. So needless to say there was a run to Target to buy up sweatpants and t-shirts. The glamour was gone from my life, and I missed it terribly.

But my tummy is doing much better! I can finally leave the house, and I am starting to wear dresses again. But I am in desperate need of a mani-pedi and brow wax! I need to go from this:

So my dears, that has been the tale of my disappearance. I am hoping to continue the blog now that I am feeling better, and I look forward to catching up with all of you.
