Also I'm in the lovely indeterminate state of possible pregnancy that women exist in for two weeks out of every four, each with different probabilities and hopes. I'm convinced I am pregnant, no congratulations in order yet though, and I have no interest in taking a test. I think it would be lovely to go through the entire pregnancy just saying things like, 'signs point to yes', and 'to all appearances'. People are so interested in facts, and concrete observances. It's like due dates. Yes I knew my due date last time, but I refused to tell it to anyone... I got more specific as it got closer, but I felt that 'spring', or 'late spring', then 'May', were entirely enough information. Not everyone agrees with me. So am I pregnant? Who knows? Why commit to an answer? I had cramping for several days after presumed ovulation, and possible implantation cramps, and I've been craving salad and low on iron. But it isn't like early pregnancy is ever more than a state of probability. There's a reason people don't go around saying 'I'm pregnant!' in the first couple months. Something like 25% of pregnancies miscarry by the 6th week LMP. So I may very shortly exit the merry Schrödinger stage of pregnancy, or I may be here for a while longer. Either way is fine with me, if I shortly become non-pregnant again, I get to start over with the hopes and guesses, which at this stage, since I haven't been frustrated by inability yet, is still quite fun.

Picking Up
Rebecca has gotten pretty good at picking up. Penelope still needs to be told one item at a time. And sometimes I still need to start counting to 10…
