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!

[Poll #1097994]

Big congratulations to you! It's an idea that's preoccupying a lot of my own hours (and goodness, the wacky dreams my brain comes up with!) so it would be great to read the honest experience of someone going through it in real time. All my best!

Thank you! Just so you know, the poll is in an old post, the one where I announced my pregnancy. (I reused the poll because I didn't want to have to redo the entire filter. It would have made me crazy.) I've since had the baby (see icon), so you can follow the whole story here (http://thefourthvine.livejournal.com/tag/*earthling) now that you're on the filter. Not in real time, unfortunately.

And I hope you get pregnant soon, if that's what you want. It's a fascinating ride!
