h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've been wondering why I was so very down on Sodit (especially since I was perfectly fine on Wimpy and yesterday and so far today) And, actually, a possible explanation popped into my head on Sodit...

I'll lead up to it

I realized that it hasn't been 'that time of the month' yet. Now, I don't normally get PMS, but there's always a first time, I suppose... After thinking a bit more, I realized that I may be a little late (my cycle isn't rock-steady, but still...) And yesterday morning and this morning, I was a bit nauseated (still am this morning)

Do you think....

But we only just started not using birth control!

Like I told Tom, if my period hasn't started by the end of next week, methinks a test is in order...

Wouldn't surprise me a bit....


It can happen pretty quickly you know.

I know. But you should have heard Tom's reaction when I told him my theory the other night

& big for Tom

What did Tom say when you told him?


Everyone always assumes it will take months and months to get pregnant - but it can happen incredibly quickly.

Big s!

(Oh, and BTW, everyone, it's his birthday today... Who wants to *really* surprise him? Granted, with timezones, those in the UK can't really talk to him on the phone (except Happy, depending on his work schedule) but we *do* have an answering machine... Of course, if you're someone that doesn't already have our phone number, disregard...)

Should people call and say "happy birthday, Dad"?

Well, I can't say exactly, as it was rather personal (he'd flip if I put the exact wording on here) but it was along the lines of 'What? Already?? But....!'

I think he's been assuming that it would take awhile

(I bet everyone's glad to see something not depressing in my journal for a change)

No, because it's only a possibility (I'm not *that* late, which is why I'm going to wait another week before I get a test--it's too early to get a good result, I think)

the tests they make now are very sensitive - and the ones you get from the drug stores are the same chemical things they use in the dr's office - I think the packages will tell you how many days you should wait to test the first time. But if you're nauseated and not otherwise sick....

But the call itself is what I was hinting about, yes Just don't use the 'Dad' word yet...

*will likely buy the test later in the week (if her period doesn't start by then) so she can make lots of overseas calls on the weekend, if...*

Don't everyone goet too excited, yet... With my luck and timing, I'll likely start just in time to be in pain while cooking Thanksgiving dinner

Hey Amy Paka.. Congrats, Congrats Tommy... If it is Positive (or Negative, whichever one means you're pregnant), that means you're bringing a new soul into the world... (yes, may sound cheesy, but I relly think this) be gentle, and feed it's curiosities, showing it to enjoy every little discovery you'll have the chance to make together (yes, including the taking a dump phase)...

If you guys need any tips, you let me know... I ain't a Dad, but I'm a hell of a Big Brother... Inside 2 nights, I made my little brother not only understand Math, but actually like it...

I had to use a few metaphores like : So let's say your on the right offensive wing and the Center is there waiting for a pass, but you can't handle the puck right, what's the point?

So Math is kind of the basics...and so on, and so forth...

Okay, enough babbling form the parent-wannabe here, but Congrats from the bottom and top of my heart...


and

So we have to wait all till next weekend? Of course in that case so do you I'll be all excited now all week waiting to hear.... I think the tests you can buy now are pretty accurate, but I think they still recomend you go to the doctor to conferm a positive test but I guss you'd go anyhow at that point big and for the possibley new parents

Well, maybe I should look at a package or 2 when I go to get Tom's card today... If nothing else, it'll likely confirm my suspicion of how the ones that advertize that you don't need a cup work...

And with me, mysterious nausea doesn't necessarily mean anything--happens all the time.

Now you guys are getting me all excited...

Just hope we don't build your hopes to high, but obviously we do hope..... and you never know, it could be

*flaps arms* Oh Amy!!! !!! ...!!!

Oh, and please give Tom a happy birthday peck on the cheek from me

Um, wele, before you fly off () just remember that I don't know yet. But thank you And I will.
