Was it the Turkey Baster?

I’m not surprised when I come across a search engine term like tingly feeling in my vagina, as a way someone got to my blog.
I was pretty surprised to find this term, however, and I wonder what the person who did the search thought of my lesbo baby-makin’ blog when they were really looking for [...]

Pants, Schmants

I spent all of Thanksgiving weekend with my jeans unbuttoned.  No, it wasn’t the turkey.  I don’t even think it was my ever-blossoming perfecto embryo.  I think it is all the extra food I’ve been eating for the past three weeks. (And maaaaaybe just a little bit of my uterus.)
I don’t like walking around pulling [...]

The New TWW

TTC sucked.  I would not go back for all the world.  (Unless I had to, knock wood.)
I was not prepared, however, for a whole new rhythm of waiting.  I mean, I’ve done my share of waiting… the two weeks to find out I wasn’t pregnant and the following two weeks waiting to try again — [...]

Pregnancy Nose

The world smells different to me now.
The lobby of my building = sewage
A cafeteria full of children = one collective huff of bad breath
Walking down the stairs behind fifth graders = the Giants’ locker room after a game (but the showers are broken)
My empty elevator = Old Spice
My kitchen =  smells like looking into the [...]

A Baby and A Book

Was it Gertrude Stein or Adrienne Rich who said, “A book is not a baby is not a book?”
Well this non-bio lesbian mom book is certainly not going to be a baby.  And my embryo will hopefully not develop into a book in my womb.  Yet they are related. At some point in my youth, [...]

6 Weeks

Yo, people!
Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks pregnant!
I was astonished to find that even before I had had any sperm in me, I was pregnant for two weeks.  If you just got your period, you too are considered pregnant by silly doctors and people who know nothing about their ovulation all around the world.  Crazy, [...]

bellydancing on the floor

I am out of shape.
Considering I will soon be carrying an extra 20-something pounds around, I decided to finally go to that yoga class.  As you can see from this previous post, it is something I have meant to do for quite some time.
Of course I had to go a pre-natal class.  On the way [...]

Please Come Out of the Closet

Ok, I have a little request.
If I know you in real life, and you know that I’m knocked up, please tell me.
No need to go through any charades of both of us pretending that embryonic elephant is not in the room.
Thanks!

update

I’m still pregnant.
Things seem to be going strong. Beta doubling, etc.
I have to keep saying I’m pregnant to myself.  It does not feel real yet.
This is partly because I have not felt sick much at all.  My mother says she never got much morning sickness, so I’m happy, rather than worried.  Though I swear, I’ve [...]

Ch-Ch- Ch- Ch- Changes

Being pregnant is weird.
I mean, I haven’t had many symptoms yet aside from extremely sore boobs, slight nausea, and the weird feels-like-I-did-too-many-sit-ups pain that Oh, Chicken had. But I suddenly don’t want to do things I used to want to do all the time. Take candy, for instance– I love it. If [...]
