I’ve been feeling rather out-of-sorts lately. My periods are 2 weeks late and I’ve gained 2kgs in ONE month. I wouldn’t have bothered to check for pregnancy because it’s quite usual for me to miss one whole month but lately my youngest has taken to jumping on my tummy for recreation ( the outcome of allowing your kids to watch WWE ). So I did a UPT just to confirm that I’m not pregnant so the little monster can continue using me to improve his wrestling skills. Guess what. I’m pregnant! It’s a bit of a shock really. Yes, I do want a girl, very much, but after a year of trying I’ve pretty much thought that my ovaries have run out of functional ovums. Guess I’m wrong.

I’m a bit nervous about this pregnancy. Mainly because I’m definitely not a young woman anymore so the risks are higher. And my sister-in-law who’s about my age just had a miscarriage.

My past 3 pregnancies had been plain sailing thank God but this one may be different. And the labour pains, oh my, just remembering that scream-like-a-banshee-inducing-pains is already making me shudder. It’s the hope to have a daughter that’s making me want to have a 4th child otherwise 3 would have been more than enough.

And I guess I’m rejoining my old breastfeeding-mothers community *yawns*. Hee hee I don’t really mean that but they ( oh dear I suppose it's we now ) certainly talk about different subjects *grins*. But I’m not leaving LJ though, nothing can tear me away from my slash-fics!!
