Hey everybody!

As you've noticed, I've been away from FA for a rather long time. It's not because I'm ignoring you guys, or because I've forgotten anything-- it's been because of health, both good and bad.

As some of you know, in September of last year I had a lengthy stay in the hospital, due to my immune system dipping and my getting a nasty infection. After that, I was hospitalized for something a bit more personal in nature-- a two week stay that wasn't much fun at all.

Last week, I was in the hospital again, this time for something called Hyperemesis Gravidarum which is an illness that you get during pregnancy! It's basically morning sickness on steroids, crack and then some more steroids. I ended up dropping twenty pounds in less than a week, no joke, from getting sick to my stomach so much. Thankfully, though, the baby is completely oblivious to what's going on and is hale and hearty~

On the note of that, it's official! I'm 10 weeks pregnant! It raises some interesting quandaries, including questions about my gender identity-- but we've had that bit figured out for a while now. Guess it's time to break out the seahorse character again!

If I'm quiet, it's because I'm trying to recoup from the terrible morning sickness-ailment-thing. I'm still slowly (but surely) working on commissions, and you all have my immense thanks for being so patient with me.

Cheers,
Loki
