Oh hey there blog. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about you. It’s just been a long quiet summer. I watched a lot of dvds (The Poseidon Adventure really holds up by the way and my love for the X-Men cartoon survives unabated), but for the past month or so, I didn’t really do much of anything I’d call “blog-worthy.” But fall is quickly approaching here in Maine and the Cleaver household is getting back into the swing of things.
First stop? Ricker Hill for our annual apple picking adventure.
On our 4th year out, my love for this place is still strong, as the doughnuts are still delicious, the views wonderful, and the apple selection top-notch. We picked a half-bushel and a peck of MacIntoshes, McIntoshes, Cortlands, and my personal favorites, Jonagolds. I see a pie-making afternoon in my near future.
The weather was sunny and crisp, just like an apple-picking day should be.
Steinbeck was super-helpful.
We came home happy, tired, and full. Though I might have been a bit more tired than usual, but that’s only because gestating a tiny human being is hard work……
Yep – the Cleaver’s are expecting!
While I couldn’t come up with any cutesy blog announcement photo theme (they are seriously not kidding about that 1st trimester fatigue), both the Mr. and I are super excited. I’m about 12.5 weeks along and am due in late March. So expect many photos of tiny baby sweaters soon. I imagine it’s going to be a busy fall!

Congrats!
I am also expecting in late March, but I’m too selfish to make the baby anything so I will focus on maternity/nursing wear for myself. And I’m also seriously exhausted these days.

Congrats to you too. I haven’t quite figured out my plans/needs for maternity sewing yet, but I’m sure there’s some of that to come as well.

Cogratulations, another 12 weeker here. I’m due 1st of April. I have just this week stopped feeling so bloody tired. Time to plan sew and knit now for me and bub. Looking forward to reading all about your expansions.

Congratulations to you and Mr Cleaver!!!! My superpower, according to Brooks, is an uncanny ability to predict pregnancies, and it worked this time too! As soon as I saw your blog, I thought, “hmmm, she hasn’t posted for a while, and I bets she’s pregnant.” Indeed! Well done!
