seriously!
And, sara freaked me out during thanksgiving by pointing out that I am also growing disposable organs. Parasitic aliens weren't bad enough. But two disposable organs too?! ACK.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pregnancy is way too creepy if you start thinking about it like that.
MIRACLE OF LIFE!! Not parasitic aliens!

I'm laughing, but I do regret freaking you out with my placenta freak-out. I need a filter.

It doesn't help that two of my local friends, when pregnant, insisted on watching that Alien movie. A lot. I've had bad influences.

See! it's all sarameg's fault! I was all with Liese on the wonder of growing a new human. Then sara had to point out the creep.

Oh geez, I can't look at any more of the pictures of the bees -- it would only serve the asshole right. Swarming bees aren't particularly aggressive, and soon fly off to go build another nest somewhere far off.
Guy's just lucky that they weren't Africanized bees, which would have stung him to death before he committed mass apicide.

I have it on good authority that babies don't typically burst out of your chest.

Happy Birthday shrift! I wish you much porn.
Much congratulations to Kat and Lori! Many good wishes for you. Man, it's springing up babies around here!

I have been "OlderSister'sName[beat]MyName" for a long while now. We also have the same middle name, which doesn't help matters much. At least now that she's been married for a while, people don't think that she's my mom. So awkward.

Congratulations to those born today, and being born (probably not tomorrow? Probably 6 months from now?). Yay birth!
Reasons to love the Metro section: reports like this one about an ordinary man in the city who jumped off the platform in front of an ongoing train to rescue a guy he didn't know. Yay people!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My mother, sister and I were all very used to being [mom'sname][sister'sname]Lee and didn't think much of it.
The day he added the dog's name[George] when talking to my 14 year old sister was not, however, a pleasant one.
