Story not finished yet but Hah Hah

February 12th, 2007

I finally feel comfortable explaining why.

I’m pregnant! Today we had an ultrasound that placed me 9 1/2 weeks pregnant, due September 11 (just as I expected), a little over 1 inch long and a heartbeat of 166 beats per minute.

Oh yes, lots of symptoms. Exhaustion. Morning sickness since, oh, four weeks? Nearly constant morning sickness. Luckily I’m very attuned to what I feel like eating and careful listening has allowed me to neither gain nor lose any weight. Cheese is the very best.

Also, sniffly sneezing coughing so you can’t sleep thingie. Basically, a constant cold. And I sleep in 4-5 hour stints, twice a day, with a 2 hour nap sometime in there, usually.

My story is about 3/5 done, in terms of major events? It shall definitely be done by next Friday, and maybe even by Wednesday. Oddly, I’d been beating myself up about not finishing it until just now, when I planned out the sentence: babies are on an unpredictable schedule and thus so am I!

It’s been really hard not sharing the utter misery of the past month and a half with the world. But a heartbeat has been confirmed, and so now I’m ready to share the ups and downs with every stranger who happens by.

The developing embryo has been named General Zod. It dwells, of course, in the Phantom Zone. Blame Michelle.

    Yay! Oh yay. I’m glad you went public; I’d been wanting to catch you on TooMUSH ever since Jan. 6th, when my RSS reader caught a post that then wasn’t there.

    Hrmph. I had to sit on this for a month and you weren’t ever on TooMUSH that I wanted to find you and go *SQUEEE* and now…

    Well, I still want to find you and go *SQUEEE*. So if our schedules, timezones, and planets align properly, you know where to find me. (sort of; see bryant’s livejournal about how Too has moved)

    I was wondering if anybody saw that errant post. :-) I do have a number of posts I tried to keep locked. I might unlock some of them.

    Do unlock some of them! I enjoy reading pregnancy posts, and would love to hear how you’ve been doing in more detail.

    Congrats. I hope you’ll feel better, from the morning sickness, real soon. Good luck w/that and the writings!

    Congrats!

    I am trying desperately to figure out if I know you, cause it really feels like I do, and I can’t figure out from where. Possibly TwoMoons, possibly Pern? Anyway, seriously, congrats! Kids are fun. :)
