a tempest in her eyes

Has made me even MORE adamantly pro-choice than before (go fig).
I really am in thrall to the little parasite inside me – s/he’s taken over, and determines when and what I can eat, when I sleep, how often I go to the toilet, even places I can and can’t go, because of my heightened sense of smell!

I can’t imagine being forced to go through this unwillingly – and I seem to have had a fairly mild pregnancy so far in regards to side effects. And the thought of being forced to experience even what I have, after being violated, makes my insides curl up. I think it would classify as a form of torture. :(
Just the thought of it makes me want to cry at how horrible we human beings can be to each other (damn pregnancy hormones).

I’m almost guaranteed a cold for the next 6 months or so of my life.
Considering how crazy my nose has become with pregnancy, this is probably a GOOD thing!

I wasn’t confident enough to go for my license yet. I AM DETERMINED to get it before Christmas though – if not for me, for my baby. Who wants to be learning to drive with a newborn? And it will make me far calmer if I know I can drive hir to the hospital in a hurry if anything ever happens when s/he’s growing up.
