I hate that I let my blog fall by the wayside, but sometimes life has a way of putting you on a different track. Such is life for my husband and I – I am happy to report that we are expecting our first baby in late July/early August. As I mentioned in my last (very outdated) post, I had major surgery to remove a tumor from my pituitary gland. Prior to surgery, my chances of getting pregnant were zero. After surgery, my Endocrinologist told me it was okay to stay off birth control and let nature takes its course, but not to get my hopes up for at least a year or two. Yeah, well, it took one try and we were blessed with our little one. I’m now 27 weeks along and in the home stretch.
Between school and preparing for a baby, I have let a lot of my prison-related activities fall by the wayside, blog especially. Now that another semester is behind me, I will put more time and energy here. I have such a long list of things to discuss on this blog and where to begin is a tough one. I’ll sort through them and figure it out.
I am still volunteering for a wonderful organization, New Vision Organization (NVO). They primarly provide paralegal assistance and motivation/counseling to incarcerated individuals. I am working on starting up a newsletter for the organization, but it’s a slow going process. The organization relies solely on volunteers, so getting everyone on the same page is difficult.
Another volunteer started a weekly internet radio show and I was asked to be a guest last month. I was both flattered and honored to do the radio show. It’s been a long time since I’ve put myself in the spotlight, but it was fun and I’d love to do it again. So I’ll leave today’s blog with a link to the radio show if you’re interested. I am the guest for the first 30 minutes.
