5 Weeks Pregnant

So far so good. Not too many symptoms which is great on the one hand, but, on the other hand, it makes me worry. Symptoms help me feel pregnant - that it is all going OK. I know that is not true but still...

I made an appointment with the doctor yesterday. She can't, or won't, see me for another 2 1/2 weeks. I know this is because the first few weeks are so fragile that there really is no reason to see me before it looks like the pregnancy is holding. Practical, but ugly.

I want her to say 'sure, come on in, your pregnant! that's great - it is all smooth sailing from here, let's get started!'

But it feels more like she says 'OK, let's not get too excited. We'll wait and see if you make it to week 8 before we even bother looking at this as a pregnancy'.

waiting, waiting, waiting.....it is torture.

It being February I see you might have made it to week 8. Oh gawd I hope so....If you survived that lunar eclipse then you can survive anything I think....

was it set? I wondered taht myself. For the sake of progress? Who would be so crazy to put so many people at risk. (oh yeah large evil corporations....forgot about them).

It brought back memories of teh rebuilding of my life for sure. All those things. Those poor people, those businesses. It breaks my heart.
