*hangs head in shame*

Yes, in fact, it has been six months (and nine days) since I posted. And whoa, what a six months (and nine days) it's been. Every time I thought to post, I just couldn't possibly imagine how I could summarize what's happened, so I just - well, didn't.

But just in case anyone is still checking in (I long ago stopped checking statcounter, sorry), here's the update.

I'm a mom. My son is 4 months old. I finally got a giant cosmic karmic payback in the form of a "stork drop" - adoption with about 1.5 weeks notice - in April 2010.

I'm ecstatic, exhausted, anxious, fulfilled, complete, panicked, overwhelmed, resentful, joyous and in awe. Plus a bunch of other stuff, all at the same time. It hasn't been a cake walk - we're still dealing with all kinds of weird GI issues that make both his and my life an uphill climb - but I am grateful for every single day.

I haven't decided yet whether to change the title of my blog, or just keep on going - after all, I *still* have "no yolk" - but thought I owed it to all of you to at least post an update.

So. My apologies for the long silence. I know many of you have moved into new phases of your lives (of various types) and I'm thrilled to hear about all of it.

Wishing you all hugs, kisses, and a long road that turns out to be paved with gold.
