Hello everyone! It's been a while! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and haven't quit photography or DA. I've just been dealing with my pregnancy and getting ready for the baby! This pregnancy has been difficult for me, and if I'm not resting I'm setting up the nursery or doing the usual housework. Third pregnancy, hypothyroidism, and hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome don't mix well. My biggest issues have been insomnia, horrible fatigue, and very bad joint pain.

I expect to have the baby between the 21st of December and the first week of January. My due date is January 11th, but I'm getting induced at 39 weeks (around January 4th) as long as I don't go into labor before 39

This is probably the longest I've gone in my entire 9 years of being a member here. Well, everything is fine! What happened was, I got pregnant! I'm currently 11 weeks. I'm having a difficult 1st trimester, and have been having a hard time even sitting at my computer or doing much of anything. I wanted you guys to know that I haven't quit DA, I've just not been too well. Here's a little story on my pregnancy: This is my 3rd pregnancy, and my first biological child with my husband. It took us 4 months of trying before we conceived. I have hypothyroidism, and I got pregnant the second my levels got low enough. After I found out I was pregnant, I went to get my TSH tested right away. My levels nearly doubled in 2 weeks (since the last time I was tested). So I'm now on a higher dose, and will be

I wanted to write what I gained on DA in 2019! It wasn't a very active year for me. I had a lot going on in my life, but I still feel like I had a good year on here!  440 new followers. Reached 5k watchers! 10 new deviations. (probably my worst/slowest year posting) 367 points donated to me. Featured in 30 journals. Won 2nd place in Stunning Photography's Holiday Bokeh Contest. Finally reached the Runaway Llamas! (that's 25k llamas) I earned my second Daily Deviation award! I'm really happy with the community I've built here in the years I've been here. My growth from when I first started still amazes me. Thank you to all who continue to s...
