21w4d

so, i think my first ticker died. because i’ve been 19w5d pregnant for two weeks now. amazing. meanwhile, sparky continues to grow and communicate through constant somersaulting.
i love it. i love feeling her rhythm as i lay on the couch watching mindless tv. i love her protests when [...]

pregnant intimacy.

heat of the moment. hottness! yay!
and what do i say, without fail? “don’t move. i really have to pee. i’ll be right back.”
and amazingly enough, the mood is not ruined!
