still pregnant


Several days later and I am still pregnant, even though I got over stimulated contrary to my kinesiologist's advice and had a bit of a wig-out at a fair. I have been instructed to stay calm especially in the first trimester. I am doing very well so far and I can do very helpful things for this like eat really super well and meditate. I have books that are teaching me these things. I just had miso soup for breakfast and am cooking brown rice for later. Perhaps I will not, after all, be one of those pregnant women who treble their body weight in the first trimester. I am also being encouraged to excersise and intend to walk today-over to my mum's house for dinner tonight. My mum is completely over the moon. Donor Daddy made me a spinach pie.
Apparently fish is a good idea--she said justifying the image--but I am a vegetarian who ate a fish once when I was pregnant before and it tasted really fishy so I didn't like it.

There's no such word as 'excersise'. Really. I promise. When we said you could go first as biological child-bearer, we did not agree to corrupting the embryo with bad spelling. Keep that in mind, won't you, sugar?

Speaking of sugar: I am half-committed to the Brown Rice Life you propose, and as this is ME we're talking about, half-committed just isn't going to fly. Obsession is my diet, friends. I am currently, for example, tossing up these three after-lunch workplace treatie options: free biscuits dipped in (also free) tea; overpriced charity chocolate; or a trip down to the canteen to see if they even have an edible cake on offer. Thoughts? Comments? (Wait, this is supposed to be a comment.)

Is it time to read week five in the baby books yet? (And are you dying to get to the weeks we've never read before as much as I am?!) I am simultaneously ecstatic and terrified about the pregnancy; this inconsistency seems to have averaged itself out as lethargy. Interesting.
