Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Laugh while you still can, Kat. I'm just sayin'...

Yeah I'm learning this. My friend K got pregnant a month before me (and then miscarried, so ultimately a sad story). She and I were both seeing the same FNP etc and were undergoing similar treatment. She was terrified of having to be on bedrest and at the possibility of having multiples.

I teased her about both things.

And, lo and behold, I was on bedrest at week 6 or something and am having twins.

I'd call it poetic justice, but really, my more superstitious self thinks it is Ganesha playing a joke on me. From a practical standpoint what it has meant is being more careful about what I tease other people about.

I'm so sorry for her loss.

I've learned the lesson you've learned, not only during pregnancy, but just in the course of everyday parenting. I try hard (and still fail, sometimes) NOT to say, "I would never..." about other people and their kids, because it's bit me on the ass more than I care to remember.

Theo, that is good news. And it's amazing what just a few simple exercises over the course of a month or six weeks can do to alleviate the problem. I'm glad they caught it early.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My parents still have a bar installed in their bedroom door for exercises my mother had to do for a rotator cuff thing several years ago. It's awfully handy for hanging clothes on!

I'm outgrowing too fucking much of my clothes.

Gaining or losing becomes a pain the ass because stupid clothes don't adjust themselves to fit!

and welcome to my world. I love and hate that my closet has everything from size 2 to size 16. That might not be a big deal, but I have worn all of those sizes within the past year!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

for needing new sizes quickly for an unknown amount of time, I would look at buying lots on ebay or for things on freecycle.

That's right. I'd forgotten. You got teensy tiny, and then you got pregnant with twins.

Bless.

I bought a brand new wardrobe right before I got pregnant, the first time.

I've been in bed for twelve hours! I didn't sleep the whole time, but I slept better than I have in weeks and weeks!

I'm still tired.

Yay for sleeping! I just ran errands, which I never do in the actual morning hours, so I'm feeling very accomplished. It was good because there were hardly any people out.

How was the bed last night, Jesse?
