ummm-- thank GOD.

p.s. i used to get ridiculously nervous (when i was in high school and not remotely even DATING/ talking to boys) that i would get pregnant from a toilet seat or something RIDICULOUS.

& now-- i still wonder if birth control might be just some ridiculous JOKE on a world full of women-- so far, no dice.

If I were pregnant I hope I would have noticed by now, as I'd be seven months along :S

I didn't really worry about pregnancy until I'd been with somebody. Before, I assumed I would never even want to have a child and I'd get my tubes tied and yatayata. Now, I worry every time something happens that could even potentially be related.

Feeling a little nauseated in the morning? Pregnancy!?

Gained some weight? PREGNANCY!?

Wait, did I just dream about having a baby? DID I REALLY? OH MY GOODNESS IT IS A BABY AND I AM GOING TO BECOME HUGE AND I WILL SOMEHOW RUIN ITS LIFE WHILE IT IS STILL IN THE WOMB AND THEN IT WILL RIP ITSELF OUT OF ME.

But the first year was really the pregnancy test year. Now I just allow myself to calm down and think through whether it would really be all that necessary.

Oh, and, um, I have absolutely no idea how I'd react if I had a baby. I sort of flip flop on that weekly. :/
