Pregnant

[firebyrd]

No really, I am. We've just been sitting on the news for a little over two months, because who can resist being obnoxious for two April Fool's Days in a row? Not us. Now no one will ever believe a word I say again, but it was worth it!

Be glad we waited to tell until now, really. This pregnancy has been really different, which makes us think girl. The difference has included puking or being on the verge of puking my guts out on a daily basis until the last week or two, when I've started to feel pretty safe (though if I have anything else that normally triggers nausea in me, headaches, tiredness, whatever, things are still coming up). So be glad you've avoided hearing me whine about that. On the plus side, I've lost 15-16 pounds, so no matter how crazy my body gets with the weight gain (and despite what doctors say, if you're eating decently, there is /nothing/ you can do to control how much you gain), I'm probably not going to end up a 300 pound monster at the end. If there does end up being a third, like I keep having a nasty feeling there should be, I'm definitely waiting until I've lost most or all my pregnancy and post-partum depression weight.

I'm thirteen weeks along right now and the estimated due date is October 6th. If this one ends up by being two days "late," as Enoch was, they will be exactly 18 months apart. Yeah, this happened a bit sooner than I expected, as in two weeks after I stopped taking my BC, when I technically shouldn't have even been able to get pregnant. I've been convinced of having fertility problems so long that I can't help but still think I have them, but the reality suggests otherwise. Of course, that brings up the question as to why I've never gotten pregnant without meaning to, since we have not exactly always been careful. Maybe my surgery plus pregnancy really did cure my endometriosis? I'm left baffled by the whole situation.

The baby's embryonic name is Superfly. Even though we do actually have names already (even a boy one if needed!), just like with Ja(y)ne, that's what it will be referred to as until it's born.

I'm gonna be totally honest with you. Yesterday, I started to reply, and nearly finished. You had me tricked until just a few moments before I pushed "Post Comment", when I came to my senses.

And so, in light of this, I will post what I was going to post in that faithful hour:



What th - another one?! Darnit, Ginny, I told you that husbands and wives should kiss, cuddle, and nothing more!

Ah well. If it's a girl, will you name it Sarah? ;)

But in seriousness, congratulations. You're going to have one heck of a hustling and bustling household, dudette!

I admit to wondering what it was you were thinking, given your copying of me, funny as it was. ;)

No! Not Sara! I hate the name! And you didn't even spell it right!

Sara is the name I hold in reserve as an incentive for her not to die in childbirth (or George, if it's a boy).

Oh, btw, I'm playing WoW again on Feathermoon, but I can't remember your character's name to mail you. I'm Skraadi!

You people and your RP servers!

Come play Sargeras with me/us! A group of us are leveling new characters and you can get in on the fun! We've got a resto shaman(me), a retpally, a bear dr00d, and a fire mage. The shammy, pally, and mage are higher than the dr00d, but I'm leveling ANOTHER character up with him 'till he catches up.

So in other words, you'd have a bunch of people to do stuff with.

You're tempting me, since all my pony people are ignoring me. It would be fun to actually be able to do group stuff for once! But...but...all that work I just put into my lock! *whimper* What levels are you guys on? What's your name so if I come, I can contact you?

[fealubryne.livejournal.com]

My lowbies are currently:

Kemni -- Orc shaman, level 30
Nathein -- Belf hunter, level 14
Selexion -- Undead mage, level 13
Viaras -- Belf pally, level 8


If I'm on these days it's usually on Kem, Nathe, or Rumcola, my 19 warrior twink.

Okay, I'm Brighthoof, Tauren hunter!

*flails* Not fair! Not fair! I wanna play WoW with everyone...not that we can ever all seem to level the same on the -same- server. I am still realldevoted to Moon Guard. Best ever. But...if we get internet and WoW...I'll never get Alex's help on anything again!

And while I'm at it...grats! You really weren't kidding on trying for another. But dang it, how am I am supposed to catch up or keep up???? >.< And...if my kid is like my wonder monster niece....nooooo!

Congrats. Can't wait to tell Alex and see the look on his face.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

When you get internet again, come play with us! Friends are always better than a particular server anyway! Though I don't doubt the no more help from Alex thing. It might be better for him and his schoolwork if there is no internet for you, which makes me sad!

Thanks! I doubt a kid of yours would be like your niece, unless you were into crazy stunts as a kid I haven't heard about. ;)

Hrm, what do you want to round out your group? Another tank I'm assuming?

[fealubryne.livejournal.com]

Honestly, we'd be good with whatever you'd like to play at this point. Since we've got three hybrids who're all (mostly) willing to respec if needed badly enough, we have a lot of flexibility.

At these levels the pally is a decent enough tank, I'm kitted out completely for healing, and mage is excellent DPS/CC. The druid will be great backup for pretty much whatever we need. Of course, later levels will change this up a little, but we're all good enough players that we can make non-conventional stuff work fine. It's not like we'll be hitting 5-man heroics anytime soon, after all!

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

You might regret saying that, because I've been missing playing a hunter. ;) Or maybe you won't regret it, because then you'll have something to make fun of me for.

[fealubryne.livejournal.com]

Play a hunter if you like! We've all got hunters -- me and the mage have them as our mains (though I've got the only level 70 one), the druid has one in the 60s (though his 70s are a pally and rogue), and the retpally has a lowbie hunter (though his main is a warlock).

The whole reason I've been playing Nathein is because I've long since forgotten what it's like leveling a hunter up. It's fun! Albeit disgustingly simple, especially after you've PvP'd at 70 as a hunter. XD
