Checking in

Hello and thanks to those who inquired of my whereabouts. I read your PM's and e-mails some time ago, but failed to respond the same day. Then I was away from the job for three weeks with a herniated and degenerated disc in my neck and thus unable to access a PC as we do not have one at home.

I am returning to work on Monday, however, and everything is ok now. Tonight, I am in a cyber cafe to chat with my family briefly, but as usual, they are late to sign on, so I thought I'd take the time to pop in with a message.

All is well on our end, I am fast nearing the end of my sixth month of pregnancy and we just learned that we are expecting a girl! :dance: We are both very excited about this and to know that she is developing on track with no expected difficulties. Also, though probably NOT a good thing, I have just began to pick up weight. For the first three to four months I was continuously losing weight and for now, I am still wearing the clothes that I came here with. (For a couple of months, they were too big, and now they are beginning to fit again as they did before I arrived!) :wacko:

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm still alive, well and once again periodically perusing the forum to keep up with things. Congrats to the many who have recently received visas and have arrived (or are en-rout to) the US. As for us, a return to the states is not in the cards in the near future, and that's exactly the way I like it. :thumbs:
