Nine Muses

Well, it’s official. I am, indeed, pregnant. At this point, I’m just five weeks along. I have my first prenatal visit, with the prenatal nurse (not the Ob yet) in just under two weeks.

I find myself having little mini fits of panic over the stupidest things. This morning, it was over the fact that I’m not sick. There are “studies” that say that how sick you are indicates how well the pregnancy is going. I know from other reading I’ve done and from people I’ve spoken to that not being sick can be a completely normal sort of thing (statistics say it only affects 50% to 80%), but it was still bugging me until I dug around on the Internet and found posts by dozens of women saying they never had even a smidgen of sickness, or anything else, in their first trimester.

I guess I get to look forward to nine months of trying not to worry about stupid things. Hah. Maybe it’ll be good for my stress management skills.

I don’t know how it is my WoW friends find these things, but one of them posted this link today:

I need to start writing again, need to start using this again. I think a three month hiatus is plenty long.

So, in news for today, I managed to burn my fingers like a clutzoid. See, we have this water dispenser at my work that gives both refrigerated cold water and scalding hot water. The little indicator says the hot water is at 186 degrees. So, I’m trying to get the water in my little paper cup, and I have it tilted slightly to try to get the water to the bottom. (I’m making oatmeal and it never seems to mix well at the bottom.) I guess I tilted it a little too far, because I felt my fingers burning right off. I’m suprised I didn’t drop the cup. I did spill a little still.

So, the skin between my index and middle fingers is red and very tender. At least it didn’t blister. It hurts to type. And yet, today is the day I decide to start blogging again. Heh.

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day!
