So Not Planned...
« on: July 22, 2005, 08:06:52 PM »
 :o

So, don't ask when I'm due, I won't know until I get myself to a doctor (and, no, I am not registered with one yet...I don't really like them...doctors, that is...but, I suppose, it can't be helped).  I have suspected for about a week that I might be, so I finally broke the news to Jamie and he bought me a pregnancy test, which I took when we got home from work.  Sure enough...it did its thing, and...well...you know.  This is definitely not an ideal time for this to happen, but Jamie is being wonderful - as he is - and reassuring me that all will be well.  It's a scary thing when you can't afford it (I'm working because we have to have me work to afford a place to live...sigh), you haven't gotten ILR yet, and your over 30.  This is not my first pregnancy I have given birth three times (two of my own, and once as surrogate for my sister), I know what to expect but I am not a spring chicken, as they say, and I have never tried to carry a baby and work at the same time before.  Scary. 

This is not a bad thing, mind you....just scary, terrifying even. 

Anywho...you know as much as I do at this point.  Stay tuned.  Oh boy!  U'm, or girl.... again :o

Congratulations!

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

Thank you! ;D  

Jamie just told me to post that he had already suspected it before I said anything. That's why he wasn't shocked by it.  LOL, I guess I'm the only really shocked one.

Oh wow congrats! You should be fine working unless you have any complications. I worked up to 38 weeks and was fine, although VERY tired.

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Well I'm going to add my congratulations as I hold my little Unplanned on my lap!  We had the same concerns...money, etc...but I can say without reservation that having her is amazing!  It will work out, some things are meant to be!

S/he is going to be one beautiful baby!

I wasn't planned. It's actually up to the both of you whether you want this baby or not. ;-)

If the father is behind it? Go for it. He must be lovely. Magic. How solid is he financially?
