Hey guys.
I'm still hanging in there, and am getting further along in the pregnancy. My ability to sit and draw has been severely limited- all that work I was excited about getting to do on commissions? Yeah. Being in gut-wrenching pain every day, struggling to keep food down and having most of your body's resources go to keeping a baby growing and healthy don't really get to be argued with. Not to mention that the carpal tunnel in *both* my wrists has started to flare up because of things like hormones and water retention (I do not like water retention.).
This isn't to say, though, that I haven't been working on commissions and the trade I owe. @_@ I do have several things sitting in various stages-- including a rough sketch for your trade, Kiba! I have a lot of refining work, then inking and for all the badges, coloring that I need to do. As I said in my previous journal, I will not be at Califur this year. First, because I haven't been medically cleared to go by my OB and second, because it would be horrificly wrong of me to accept new commissions, when I still owe old ones. It's part of the reason I haven't opened commissions back up to raise money for the baby. It just doesn't feel right to be taking new work when I have old to finish. Call my morals old fashioned (I wouldn't), but I believe in business ethics.
I've been upright for just about long enough now, and should probably go lie back down and try to get some rest while I can. I hope all of you are doing well!

PS-- Please don't mind the strange (P) in the title. It's a tag for my records.
