For those thousands of eager readers out there wondering, Why is Diana so late with her April 2023 edition of "Books Lately"? - I wanted to check in with a quick family update. (Perhaps not "thousands" of readers. But I did want to check in with my faithful readers - all three of you!)
To make a long story short, we spent this spring battling morning sickness with a pregnancy that I was going to be announcing with my next blog post. However, just before I hit the "post" button, we began to see signs that something was going badly wrong, and the baby miscarried at the end of the first trimester.
Things then proceeded to get even more complicated the following week when I ended up being hospitalized for complications following the miscarriage.
Thus, with morning sickness, a week-long loss, a hospitalization, and now trying to work my way back to normal life (not to mention the craziness dealing with two surprise litters of kittens from our adopted strays!), life has been one crazy mess.
I will be posting my April "Books Lately" post soon, however. I will also - eventually, though not soon - post a birth story for our little one who didn't make it. Also, at some point, I will have a post to share about morning sickness research that I did during the pregnancy. None of it will be fast, but I'll get there sometime.
In the meantime, your prayers for our family are welcomed, and I will be praying for you all as well.
Love to all!
