Week 6

Last week, I went into the Health Department for a free pregnancy test for insurance purposes. It was scary. They take you into a room and ask questions that make you feel sad only because you know many girls answer yes to them. Drug addictions, abusive relationships, and above all- whether your pregnancy is unwanted. They assume it is. I laughed nervously through all of the questions. My pregnancy was unplanned and at times, I've been frustrated with it, but the idea of giving a baby up for adoption makes me feel so sad. I feel for the women who sit in the same chair I sat and answer yes to the questions. It's never a choice and not many people understand that. 

I feel thankful for my little family. My biggest problem is just how I'm going to get She-Hulk off the boob and into her own room. And that's not really a small problem, but it's better than some others I've heard.

I'm on a school break until January 9th. The thought of going back exhausts me, but I'm going to keep on keeping on. I'm almost done. Give me a year with an easy pregnancy and low key newborn. It could happen.

Aside from yesterday's 12 hour migraine, I feel ok. The nausea is on and off between days, so it's doable. The exhaustion is still there, but I'm getting used to its presence. I'm more sensitive and more aggressive and that's really annoying. I was like this with She-Hulk, too. Honestly, I think we're having another girl. I know it's way too early, but Spiderman and She-Hulk had polar opposite symptoms in pregnancy and this one is following the same pattern as She-Hulk. If so, we perhaps have our Lorelei.

We're not totally in agreeance with a single name yet. I'm pushing hard for Liam, but I don't think it will happen. All of my biblical "ah" names got shut down, too: Jonah, Josiah, Ezra...

If I leave it up to Batman, we'll have Poe's Annabel Lee or something from the Lord of the Rings. Aragorn Aaron Hoffman- yes, I can see it now. He'd name our daughter Brooklyn and our son Tristan.

Not that mine are any better. Riley Aaron or Olive Elizabeth. Tell me that's not the cutest! :D
