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 your pregnancy was terrifying just to read about. I can't imagine actually living through it and not even knowing how it would turn out. So, yeah, I really, really hope mine is not as, um, interesting as yours was. *crosses fingers*

I'm generally not superstitious but...promise me that if anyone starts to say "Well, now that you've gotten pregnant, the rest will be easy" you will shoot them immediately.

Because throughout my pregnancy, something would happen and everyone would nod their heads sagely and say, "Well, now that you've gotten past *that*, the rest will be easy" and sure enough, something else would go wrong.

It really was enough to make a nonsuperstitious woman start jumping at the sight of black cats :D
