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 "wow" is totally what I said when the nurse practitioner told me I was pregnant. I mean, I was trying, but somehow I never thought it would actually happen.)

Although I was very happy to be pregnant, I also found it an uncomfortable experience, and found myself resenting the unwavering positivity of pregnancy books (and lack of reasonably engineered clothing for pregnant women).

If you want to, feel free to rant in my direction.
