And to all you people who are hoping it's an alien baby (MM I'm looking at you) . . . just stop it.
I didn't say I hope it's an alien baby.
But if it is, can I have it?
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Teppy, I'm assuming you've told your doctor about the whitefont, because that seems like something note-worthy.
She didn't seem overly concerned; she was like, "Well, that happens."
EVERY TIME?
But, whatev. Maybe I'm physiologically built weird. Like, small or crooked or something.

Is it stealing if you really, really NEED a cookie? (prepares to throw self on the mercy of the Buffistas)
And Steph, yes - do what you need to get through this procedure. And - in my experience - the anticipation? dread? is worse than the actual procedure. Get it done and once you find out what the problem is, you can make decisions based on actual information, rather than fear. (I would avoid the beer, though, until after the procedure.)

Odds are it's nothing serious
Which would make it me trying to justify my fat, which is just embarassing. But better, I suppose, than a gigantic cancerous tumor that's dissolving my insides.

But if it is, can I have it?
TOTALLY!!!

Aw, Tep. I'm sorry for the freakout. I think you should definitely pursue the taking of Ativan.
I'm glad you're getting this ultrasound taken care of today.
You are NOT to blame for your pain and abdominal weirdness.

No, my blamey thing was for the potential result of "It's nothing; you're just OMG FAT HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?" (like Fay's taxi driver). If my abdomen is disproportionately huge simply because I'm so fat, then that's my fault and I'll be horribly shamed.
It just makes no sense, because I've been working out SO hard for the past few months. But, whatever.

Sorry; I didn't mean to kill the thread with my endless boo-hooing and Stock Conversation #871 about weight.
I'm cool.

Yeah, I know that feeling. But I think that your body is not functioning properly and you know that on some level. Believing that does not mean you're in fat denial. I'm sorry that you're afraid of being shamed, that's such a horrible feeling.

Mostly lurking...
Steph, you're fine. Stop. That's what we're here for. Really.
Did you take an Ativan?
