Just this week I got an email from a newsletter I had signed up for when I found out I was pregnant. I had attached it to an email account that I never really used, but had planned to use more with the pregnancy. Well, I checked the email. This week I would be 21 weeks. It certainly doesn't seem that long. I wake up now and I think, "Man, I'd definitely be showing by now!" and have thoughts like, "I wonder if it would be kicking my belly button by now!" Heck, even Christmas shopping left me browsing the children's section, with the cute little Santa outfits and jammies that say "I love mommy more than Santa" and that sort of thing. I suppose I shouldn't dwell, but that pang of 'that baby is really not there' is awfully depressing. Worse yet, the prospect that I've been trying ever since and still remain not-so-pregnant. Here I was hoping for Christmas to bring the joys of mommy and daddy-hood for my husband and I.
