• BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Baby's first tooth HAS FINALLY BROKEN THROUGH!  Finally!  8 months is all it took.  She's also trying very hard to crawl, but she's trying equally hard to stand.  And she hasn't even figured out to sit up yet.  Dingaling.

  And about the previous entry - there's a reason for my madness.  When I suspected I was pregnant with Brandon, I peed on a pregnancy-test stick EVERY DAY after ovulation, and finally got a positive 10 DPO (that's days past ovulation for those who don't know.)  I was so devastated by my prior miscarriage that I peed on countless sticks - and did you know that ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) also will indicate a pregnancy?  I didn't, either, until I tried it.  With Melena, it was a few weeks after ovulation - I don't remember if I'd missed a period or not, but I knew I felt weird, so I took an HPT (home pregnancy test) and it was positive.

  My brother says he thinks his wife is pregnant.  She's missed a period and is having symptoms of morning sickness - and is maybe 1-2 weeks late - and still hasn't taken a test yet.  Hell, she may be even later.  Here's the rub:  SHE WORKS IN A FERTILITY CLINIC.  So how hard is it for her to take a pee test!?!?!??!  The other thing is that she's had cancer (uterine, cervical, I don't remember.)  She had a procedure done and then told everyone that the doctors told her she may not be able to get pregnant again.  (Don't know the procedure.)  So, the way I figure it, if she's not pregnant, it could be an issue with cancer again, and WTF GO GET IT CHECKED because every GOD DAMNED MINUTE COUNTS.  Right?  I mean, I don't like her still, but sweet holy jeebus, that just seems too stupid for words.  Also, she's on an anti-depressant that I believe is unsafe to take while pregnant, so...

  So that's why I asked.  No way I could be pregnant, I'd have to have sex for that.  Though there are days we have hallway sex....you know, meet each other in the hallway and say "Fuck you!"; "No, fuck YOU!", but that's about it.   

  My period is late, though....

  Ha!

  EDIT:  Just got a text message from my brother.  She is, indeed, pregnant.  Don't know how I feel about that.  More later.
