Babycation!

As I am sure my loyal 3.14 readers have noticed (if they are in fact still reading; perhaps I have fallen to 2.72), my posts have been fewer and further between for a few months.  The reason is simple, but I have not yet announced on the interwebs – I have been busy growing a person!

I don’t know how much having a child in my life will affect my ability to post nonsense online, so I make no future promises, other than that I am now on babycation (definition: the portion of maternity leave a woman chooses to take before the birth of her child) and will be using a portion of each continued day of such to write things, hopefully stockpiling some posts for the zombie-stage of new motherhood (which I have heard can last 18 years).

For your edification, as I proceed on to my babycation tasks of the day, such as thank you cards and naps, I leave you with some reading on the benefits of babycation and maternity leave for mothers and children.
