Will 2009 please exit the building at this time

[kalquessa]

If I could sum 2009 up in two words, they would be "yay!" and "blaarg":

January: YAY I'M PREGGERS YAY!!

February: Yuck. I forgot being pregnant involved puking.

March: Like, a lot of puking

A wonderful, fascinating, and frightening achievement. I was there in 1981 (seems like yesterday) and yes, the puking seemed to go on For. Ever. And what what that about "morning" sickness? Why not call it 24/7 puk-o-rama?

I keep taking him up to people who haven't seen him yet and going "Look what I made!" Truly, he's the coolest thing I ever created. I'm very glad he's not inside me anymore, though. He's much cooler out here than he was in there.

Have fun with him--I'm childfree by choice, but a doting aunt and now grand-aunt, so I do see the appeal. I just like being able to hand them back and go home to peace and quiet!

Just remember the old rule that my sister's o.b. forgot to tell her--it's much easier to get pregnant the second time. She thought it would take a few months, as it had the first time they started a baby, which is why she has 2 boys only 19 months apart! Or, then again, you can always stop with one--at least till you forget how awful the pregnancy was.

I'm so happy your bookstore did wonderfully well. The economy is certainly nothing fun, that's for sure, so I'm very glad you are doing OK there.

Take care, sleep when you can!

Oh, don't worry, we know! Although it would be tough for it to be any easier for us to get pregnant the next time, since we got pregnant with Bear almost without trying.

Yikes, in that case, you need to be Really Careful, till you are ready (if ever) for a repeat.
