first post

It's Friday, October 3, 2008. According to three home pregnancy tests (one on Wed., then two on Thursday just because something HAD to be wrong with the Wed. test), I'm pregnant. Like, 7 weeks pregnant. Like, 1/9+ of 'pregnant' happened already and I didn't even know it.
Bitter? God, no.
Pregnant. Pregnant. Pregnant.
Nope. I still don't believe it, though my body gives me little with which to doubt.
Consider that 8 months ago, my uterine biopsy showed hyperplasia w/atypia; that for 10 years, I had no periods w/o synthetic hormones; and that we were told many times no babies were possible without IVF, we're pregnant.
So, as I listen to myself sharing this news with family and friends, I realize two things - thing #1: this is going to get old for them quickly. I'm clearly out-of-control, my observations are sappy, and everything I see/do/feel is passing through my ramped-up, pregnant brain; thing #2 - my observations mean everything to me, and someday, when I can no longer remember the world through the pregnant-woman's eye, when I'm convinced half the stuff I thought I felt didn't really happen, I will have this.
Thus, my blog.

Indeed, it's always, always important to chronicle; because a little time passes and the particulars are forgotten!
