Next chapter of Nodame delayed?

AnimeNewsNetwork.com is reporting that Nodame Cantabile (one of my favorite series) is going on hiatus until October, as series creator Tomoko Ninomiya is going on maternity leave. However, the fine people at the Nodame livejournal community The S Orchestra read the announcement a little differently: according to several posters, Ms. Ninomiya will be writing Nodame until the October issue, and then may take a break after that.

I'm hoping the livejournal camp is correct. Obviously, I want Ms. Ninomiya to have a safe, comfortable pregnancy and delivery... but that last chapter was a cruel, cruel cliffhanger, and I really don't want to wait until November to find out what happens next!
