I ATEN'T DED
Jan. 24th, 2013 10:58 amQuite the opposite, really. Though I am dead tired, with sore boobs and EMOTIONS (ALL THE EMOTIONS). Luckily, the hungry/queasies are subsiding into mainly hungry.
So, yeah, um...( In short, have a picture from yesterday: )
The pregnancy test was positive right before Christmas, but with all the ups and downs we went through in the last round of IVF and the miscarriage, I was not about to let myself feel anything other than "cautiously optimistic". Three ultrasounds later, two of them with a very healthy heartbeat, and a glowing report from the nurse, I think I may be ready to upgrade to "happily pregnant". We still have to get through testing, though (I'm on the older side for a pregnancy, seeing as I'm turning 40 in a couple of months), so I'm not going on any shopping sprees or announcing it on FB yet.
Being OMG tired all the time hasn't helped with the emotional hormone wallop, so I apologize if lately I've been even more of a drama llama than usual at people. Festivids has been weirdly tough for me - I tried really hard with my entry, but I'm disappointed in myself with how it turned out and how few responses there have been. At least my recipient liked it, so I know I should count myself good with that.
I'm also in a weird dilemma, as the dates were just announced for Vividcon. It's going on the same weekend as the Chicago Stargate Creation con, for which I've already bought a ticket. (Amanda Tapping! Ben Browder! David Hewlett! Kate Hewlett! It's like they handpicked all my favorites just for me!) So I may attempt the impossible and pull a Peter Brady, trying to attend both. Considering I'll be 8 months pregnant at that point, who knows how that will go. I want to see all my Stargate friends (Hewlett Harem represent!), but I'm also now addicted to the Vividcon crowd, and I don't want to give up either of you. Especially since this will most likely be my last opportunity to attend cons for a year or two.
First world fangirl problems, I know. I could come down with a bad case of bed rest at that point, in which case I'll have a row D Stargate ticket for sale.
Thank you all for being so supportive on this wild ride of mine. Some people get a new car or take up exciting new hobbies when their midlife crises hit. Me, I'm gonna have a baby. :D
