I got myself pregnant, that is.
Or rather, Victor and his potent sperm convinced my reluctant egg to start working on baby #2.
How could this happen? Yes, I know that having unprotected sex can lead to a baby but not when you do it right after coming off your period. I just had my last period in Key West, June 12th. Working off a 28 day-cycle I am now 6 days late. Which shouldn't be worrisome except that yesterday for no apparent reason other than being fat, I was feeling preggers. So this morning I decided to pee on a stick. And what do you know, call me Fertile-Myrtle why don't you.
I can't wait to join all the Jewish ladies next summer on Ocean Parkway as I push along my double stroller.
This is NOT good news.
1. I have no job (I'm freelancing)
2. No health insurance
3. No primary Dr.
4. No OBGYN
5. A terrible two-year-old who I am doing an awful job of raising
6. No desire to start raising baby #2
It's a really strange feeling when you sit here knowing that you're pregnant. I keep on looking at my belly as if I expect it to grow before my eyes. Or as if the baby is going to start kicking. Then I think about surgery and I shudder. Morning Sickness, Fatigue, Constipation, Heartburn, swollen feet, mood swings, excessive weight gain, waddling...I don't want to go through that again...waa waa waa.
I just want a social life. I want to be able to go to the movies to see a premiere or stay out late and drink with friends.
Motherhood is no parade, I'll tell you that.
