Edit: I was receiving many emails regarding my absence. Don’t worry, I didn’t have my baby yet and I’m fine! lol. I’m currently in the process of switching internet service providers and it’s taking a bit longer than I expected. I should be back very soon, though! Thank you to everyone who commented on my entry and to those who have been emailing me!
Of course, before, I stated to you guys that I would reveal something about myself that has been going on me, which is the reason that I have more time at home. Well, some of my closest buddies already know, including those that I have as friends on livejournal. I’m 7 months pregnant with my second child, which I just found out not long ago is a girl. In the beginning I had mixed feelings about everything but now I’m more than excited at the fact and of course, this is a life changing situation for me. I’ve had more time at home because I’ve been on bedrest or a while now. Of course, I have some complications which is why I’m on bedrest, but I believe that everything will be alright in the long run. I’m a little scared of course because of the procedures I will have to go through but I’m optimistic. My due date is November 10th but my procedure (scheduled c-section) will be weeks before that. I plan on keeping my website updated with things about my pregnancy and of course, when I actually have my baby. I’m a pretty private person, which is why I hadn’t revealed this before but since I will be blogging about my life, it’s something that needs to be said so everyone won’t come back later like, “Wow, where’d the baby come from?” On a different note, it completely sucks to be on bedrest. I’m practically losing my mind but it sure beats being stressed out every single day. I try to find ways to occupy myself, such as reading, chatting and just plain surfing the web. I’ve always wanted a girl and pretty soon I’ll have a little mama.
I have been working on my portfolio, but it’s not complete yet, as there are many things that I would like to add. It’s a great way of killing time for me plus it gives me the opportunity to actually construct a portfolio, which I’ve been meaning to do for some time now. I would really appreciate it if you guys would check it out. 
I deleted myself from a lot of online communities that I was a member of but didn’t use. I also deleted useless email addresses and such. Life can get pretty hectic and I was beginning to completely forget about some things as far as the internet goes so those were much needed changes.

Congrats girl. Aww you are having a little girl. Congrats. I know you are excited! Clothes and more clothes. I pray she isn’t anything like my niece, that chick is just too spoil. Past spoil. Have you thought of any names yet?

Bri Says:
Congrats! A little girl, huh? All I have is sisters - I’m the oldest of four. Girls are definitely less of a hassle than boys [in my opinion], even though I love boys just as much. I would prefer girls over boys if and when I have children. Any ideas for names?

Varra Says:
congratulations i’m sure everything will be fine try not to worry about anything and take this time to get the rest you need. I have a little girl and the best part is the little dresses and dress shoes I’m obsessed.

Brandi Says:
Wow…. I was definitely shocked to read this, however, I’m truly happy for you :) I think you need a little girl and it would be great for you! I know you’ll be a wonderful mother second time around.
Does your son understand what is going on? I bet he is excited :)
All my prayers to you, Shannon. I hope you have a peaceful and safe birth.

Kay Says:
A baby Girl! Wonderful! I’m sure she will be beautiful and healthy. I wish you a safe and healthy birth. There is nothing to be scared of. Hold the faith and think positive.
I respected your privacy ever since day one. I know that you don’t blog about certain things and that is what I see myself doing lately. My blogging mood has changed. Even though I purge now. My ex reads my blogs so I try not to say names or go into details. blah
I excused myself from allot of sites. I find it pointless to be all over the place. I’m too busy to visit all of them. I’ve been to your portfolio several times. I check up on it every once in a while.

Congrats Shannon. I’m so excited for you… [screams] lol… You know its a blessing.. wishing you all the best.. A peaceful, safe and healthy birth.
You shouldn’t have to explain your privacy. Its your life, and you know whats best for you…
I am only active on sites which educate me on, things i’m curious about and my roots.

Mimi Says:
As I told you before, congrats on the baby. I read your latest entry on LJ and you said you’d be having a girl, that’s great since that’s what you wanted. I am so happy for you. And *woot woot*, she may be a November baby (like me lol). Hahah. Anywhos, I checked out the portfolio, it is nice. Your myspace page is amazing, you’ll probably get a lot of orders for that. I thought it was a DIV layout at first but then I realized it was a default that was just changed around a lot. Good luck with finishing your portfolio hun!

Congratulations on baby #2! I am sorry though that you have to be on bedrest. I was also very ill when I was pregnant with Zoe.
I also am on LJ, but I hardly update but I still log to read my friends blogs. I will add you on livejournal, but my LJ is full of complaints. lol

Jhaye Says:
Awww congratulations! I have a boy and a girl as well. I’m pretty sure I am DONE!
LOL, I need to do the same thing. Alyssa be fidning all these communities and having us join them and we use them for like 2 weeks and move on. Just doesn’t make any sense.
[Reply]
Olivia Kitty Says:
Wow, 7 months! She is almost here! Congratulations!
I have also been deleting myself from various websites. I still have a lot of (pretty much useless) e-mails hanging around. But, they’re all accounted for, and that’s what matters to an OCD like me

Tashia Says:
Oh wow, I wasn’t expecting that news at all !!!
Congrats Shannon! You have a boy, and now a
girl is one the way. I know many women who want
one of each but it doesn’t end up that way, so you’ve
been blessed. Hope all goes well with the pregnancy girl.

Many congratulations, and best of luck on the new little girl coming into your life. I wish you the best. I’m sure everything will go well.
I know exactly how you feel about being on bed rest. I was stuck in bed for a few weeks back in May - for a broken foot, and I was on the verge of going insane.

Destiny Says:
Oh wow, congrats on your baby girl!! I’m envious because I want one, but I’m still holding back because I really want to travel mostly right now.
It does come as a surprise because I didn’t know that you were connected but I will respect that privacy part of your life. I do hope that there’s not going to be any complications!! Have lots of rest!!

Letitia Danielle Says:
Oh wow, congratulations on your babygirl! Bedrest sucks in any situation and I agree, it could drive someone crazy because everyone treats you so delicately… well there’s nothing wrong with that. I wish you well during your last trimester.
Take care!

So many choices.

Breezie BaByYy Says:
AWWW Congrats!! I’m excited for you lol. Have you thought about names yet??! Gosh I can’t wait to see the little one. If I lived closer to you I would have tried to get you in to do a pregnancy shoot with me so that I can put it in my portfolio and you can have the photos for yourself! I want to see the belly *smiles* Keep in touch, SMOOCHES!!

Jaz Says:
Oh wow, I had no idea! Congratulations!!!! Awww its sweet.
And I wish you all the luck with the rest of the pregnancy.
And when your children grow up, your son can protect your younger daughter. :)
I think it is a blessing, congratulations!!!
I’d love to have children, I get clucky all the time, lol. I do wish to travel overseas first but after that, Im gonna do some baby-making. :) I want that feeling of being a mother.
Im kinda back on the blog scene, I managed to get my new wordpress working but now my comments system is playing up so Im currently working on that.
I hope you have a good weekend and enjoy the bedrest.
