I feel like I need to apologize

You guys, I have been so absent lately! I check in at least once a day but I RARELY ever write anything or comment. I feel so terrible but things have been so crazy busy. On top of prepping for a baby, I just started pumping to induce lactation, my brother got married this past weekend (that has been a time and emotion sucking ordeal) and we are in the midst of buying a house. Know that I miss you guys and I promise I'm going to do better.

Queer coupled and having a BABY with the love of my life! Love my life and wouldn't have it any other way!

    You do NOT have to apologize! We can all relate to having our hands full with a lot of life stuff -- it has happened to all of us at one point in time or another. I hope that things calm down a little, and that we get to hear more from you soon, but don't feel too much pressure to post if you are just busy and overwhelmed with life. Plus, we have kept up to date via your awesome other half -- so you have been with us in spirit! :)

    This! And once you get the hang of pumping, it's the perfect time to bump (as long as you have a good hands free pumping bra!). :)

    The only problem with being absent is that we miss you.  Which is a nice problem to have!  ;)

    Don't stress out, you've got enough on your plate.  We know you'll be here when you can.  For now just take care of yourself and all of those mounting responsibilities!

    :)

    If I had been part of the bump longer and knew you all better, I'd make a sarcastic comment about "you better be sorry" but I don't want anyone to take it the wrong way!

    But that being said. When I opened this and then read what you were sorry about it kinda made me chuckle. I thought it was going to be something serious! Don't be sorry for living your life!! That's great that you have so much going on.... As long as it's all positive! Drop in when you can! I'm sure that's all anyone can ask for!

    Apparently, people we talk to on-line are actually real entities who, when the desktop isn't active, go about having little adventures of their own every day.  no, seriously!  I heard it from someone on a discussion board somewhere.  They call these adventures 'life.'

    Sorry, lol. In a silly mood today.  All kidding aside though: we get it.  There are some things in rl that need your attention.  Don't sweat it.  We'll still be here when you have time to hang :)

    Lol @Twochickshavinachick‌!!

    @firstcomeslove2013‌ - no need to apologize at all. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your adventures whenever you get a chance - no rush. :-)
