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!

Oh, dear. And I thought I was ready to cry when mine went straight on to E for EEEK! when my milk came in. *huggles some more* *is sad I can't be more helpful*

I completely understand your wanting to not really think about labor until you absolutely have to. After the childbirth class where they went over labor and delivery (and how the hospital dealt with stuff going wrong), my Mr. asked me, "So, still want to do this, right?" and six-month-pregnant-waddly-me was all, "NOT MUCH CHOICE OVER HERE!" I have been told by child-free commenters that my birth story (http://perspi.livejournal.com/46113.html) makes childbirth sound not scary and downright reasonable. So, it's a good birth story just to have on hand. And believe me, when you get there, you're so ready to have your body back that you're like, "let's go!"
