Real Life: News

[thefourthvine]

So, hi, y'all. I'm pregnant. (Twelve weeks, due at the beginning of June, we don't know the sex yet. Judging from the ultrasound, I would say it is an alien implanted in my uterus by devious means. However, unless we make some major, speedy advances in space travel, it will probably be born on this planet, so I choose to think of it as a future earthling. Crazy optimism, I know.) This could occasion some posting on real-life topics from me, which I know is not what most of you are here for. So, I will be creating a filter. It's opt-in; you don't have to say anything if you don't want on.

Posts to the filter could be frequent. They could be short. They could be unfunny. They could be extremely boring. They could be non-existent. They could be excessively personal or contain mention of bodily fluids. I have no way to tell, because this is new territory for me.

So, keeping that in mind, do you want on the filter? A handy poll is provided for your clicking convenience!

Thank you! (And I'm curious, though of course you don't have to say - why jealous?)

Oh, just because we've been trying for the last several months. The doctor did roughly 30 million tests of various levels of painfulness, and says that all of the equipment is functional. And that he's quite certain that he can pump me full of drugs and get me pregnant if he has to, but it's probably just a matter of losing some weight and giving it some time. Still, it's very frustrating when my biological clock started ringing about three years ago and has made me think longingly about children every single day since then.

Not that I meant to start spontaneously ranting in your journal. To sum up: BABY! :)
