My friends all call this pregnancy a "normal" one. I usually correct them with a honest laugh, tell them that we Infertiles prefer the term "Unassisted". I guess "Spontaneous" works, but sounds too clinical and I don't think this stuff happens without science or God.
Uncomfortable with that last sentence but I'll leave it for now.
Everything is going well. Lots of movement. Can't think of a girl name. Boys name is set. Need to get Jay out of the crib. Not worried anymore. I have not graduated to some higher plane of faith, I just don't have the time to worry like I used to.
Shame really. I am an exceptional worrier.
I fired my OB office for not offering the Harmony, Maternit21 or other type test. Fuckers. I had to find it online myself.
You're fired. CVS/Amnio-pushing fuckers.
Leah asked me why I had a white stripe on my head. I'm so close to delivery that I am doling out my hair coloring to make it to mid May. How is that for shallow. I think I tracked the first take home baby by comparing him/her to fruit sizes. This one's arrival is tracked by how many times I can get my roots done.
Spare time is delightful. I hate to spend it in a chair.
Miss you guys.
So happy that things are going well. My third was in the same way. It's all unnerving to me still and he's 3 months old. Glad you fired OB, you deserve the best and to be happy with your choice. I went through three in my final pregnancy alone. It was worth it. I decided to stop doing my roots and looked like a skunk near the d date so good for you. Anxiously waiting.
ReplyDeleteUgh yeah, I'm going to need to dye my hair again soon. Maybe I'll get it cut this time too. Those fruit sizes just, well, um, kind of gross. I mean I know I'm not eating my kid but when I look at a sweet potato I kind of gag now.
ReplyDeleteOh Roccie, I love love love that you can't get your roots did. So glad to hear thing are chugging along.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post about life running along like a stream. It sounds like a very different pregnancy than the last two.
ReplyDeleteMiss you too, dear woman.
Love hearing from you and that all is well! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI hate the idea of unassisted pregnancy being normal. Guess that makes our children resulting from assisted pregnancy abnormal? One of the many valuable things I've learned from being a part of the IF community for five years, other than to NEVER ask or comment about someone's child-related status, is the term "spontaneous." I actually think it's very descriptive in this area!
Oh, how good to hear from you and to know all is well. Too busy to worry sounds blissful. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteOh, happy for the update, keep going!
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad things are going well for your newest miracle. I figure, no matter how you get there, any baby is miraculous!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so good with the math, but it seems like you're probably due to have a baby some time. Let us know, won't you? Love.
ReplyDeleteGettin' to be about that time, is it not? Exciting!!!

ReplyDeleteWhere are you, Roccie? You must have delivered that baby. We need a report, please. It's dark out here -- give us some light.
