Small Good Things (10w0d)

1. There are days LG doesn't stop talking. There are other days LG doesn't stop reading. Here she is, in a fort, on the porch.
2. Yesterday was a nice quiet day overall.  We ran a couple errands (including 2 trips to the post office because I am a hormone-addled moron who forgot her checkbook) but otherwise LG played with friends and I read.
3. Fuck those books that say if you think you're feeling a baby at 10 weeks your dates are wrong or you have gas. Because I know what I'm feeling, and I've never felt it in a non-pregnant state. Even if I am crazy, it's the only thing that makes me think this baby might just be okay.
4. Despite the uncertainty that surrounds this pregnancy, I decided to buy a few maternity items, due to an expiring coupon for Old Navy, which is where I bought 75% of my maternity wear with LG (including 2 dresses I'm still wearing for non-maternity use 8 years later).  I figure buying the clothes can't make me miscarry, and if I don't need them, that's what returns are for.  In the meantime, I need something instead of the bella band, because that's really not a workable system.
5. I didn't think I'd be one for gratuituous belly photos, but here's one. Note the lovely Lovenox bruises, as well as the pants soaking in the sink (from a PIO injection gone awry). It might not look like much, but under non-pregnant circumstances my abdomen is perfectly flat, and in the past six weeks, I've gained 5-6 pounds of something.
