What's Going On with Renee?

| | Comments (6)
Some of you might have noticed my absence from the blog and other social media since February. Especially the Multicultural Minutes-- I haven't been working on those in many months. I do apologize for dropping off the face of the internet. In the last week or two, I've been finding my way back. I'm a bit of a private person, so I apologize also for taking so long to write about what's going on with me.

What happened to me? I got pregnant!

Getting pregnant has been a wonderful and exciting milestone, but it was accompanied by more than three solid months of feeling absolutely terrible. Apparently, I'm one of the minority who get awful "morning" sickness not only all the time, but for an extended period after the first trimester. I was barely able to turn my computer on some days, not to mention recording and editing any sort of videos.

I am beginning to feel much better, thank goodness. Work-wise, I'm focusing on getting orders filled and making sure our spring book, Maneki Neko, is as perfect as possible and at the printers. I hope to resume the Multicultural Minute videos soon, but we'll have to see how my health goes. The next time you see me, I'll be sporting a big belly, which I might just have to hide below the camera frame!

Thanks for your patience and understanding. More multicultural goodness will be forthcoming soon!

Congratulations, Renee! Except I'm sorry you've been through such a rough time. I did miss the Multicultural Minutes, so I'm glad you're starting to feel better. But don't push yourself too hard.

Congratulations! It will certainly get better once that baby is on the outside! And a lot more fun too! All the best to you.
