			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a boy.  He&#8217;s healthy.  Measuring big(gish).  I&#8217;m thrilled&#8230; All parts are where they should be and everything looks to be in working order.  I then told two good (but far away) friends that I am pregnant.  Kind of weird to just say it now&#8230;and slowly, I guess, I feel more comfortable sharing the news.  I will be seeing them in two weeks anyway, so thought I should give some notice.  Still, I&#8217;d say about 75% of &#8220;my people&#8221; are in the dark.</p>
<p>Right now, I am the happy little pregnant person that I love to hate while undergoing failed cycle after failed cycle.  I look pregnant.  I feel happy and right and good.  I am even so stupid as to sometimes forget about the possibility of something going wrong in the next 20 weeks&#8211;and already, I am mulling over names with T.  I waver still between wanting to be so happy and live life like it is meant to be lived&#8211;and the caution that I want to throw to the wind, but remember that maybe I shouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I also happily accepted a new role as Godmom the other week.  I&#8217;ve never been anything so special to anyone before&#8211;and though sometimes it doesn&#8217;t mean anything, to me it means a lot.  My godmother played a huge and important role in my life growing up, and still does.  I sometimes smile for no reason lately.  (also, sometimes I cry and get angry and sad for no reason&#8211;but that was always the norm.  the extra bit of happiness that comes around these days is definitely new).</p>
<p>I sit and think about last year this time (failed FET), last August, last September, last December&#8230;.and right now, it looks like the months won&#8217;t be the same this year as they were last year (fail, cancel, fail).  I just think about how it is so damn GOOD and was once so damn BAD.  Really, I am hateable.  Well, except for those who live with me or interact with me regularly.  For them, they are probably so relieved I&#8217;m no longer Angry Bitter C.  I have it all right now.  A great husband, good friends and family, a wonderful little son, a son on the way&#8230;I.have.it.all.  Dammit that I didn&#8217;t come here the way I wanted to&#8211;and it may not stay this way&#8211;but for right now, for this very little fleeting moment in time, I have it all.</p>
<p>I still don&#8217;t know where to take this blog from here&#8211;it isnt the appropriate place to chat about pregnancy (and really, I don&#8217;t chat about it.  Well, there are two friends who are also currently pregnant and I talk to them about stuff.  Otherwise, I&#8217;m pretty mute about it all).  But it is another hundred bucks or so to keep this site for next year&#8230;.and then what?  I know that if we have a healthy baby we will surely be doing this again&#8230;.we have enough embryos on ice to play a five-on-five basketball game.  And I know by now that it would be work to do it again&#8211;taxing and anger-inducing and blah blah blah.  So maybe if we do ever get there, I&#8217;d need this again.  Because truly, this has been my lifeline for the past 11 months.  I would not have made it through the darkest points without it, and those who read and reach out.  I just don&#8217;t know.  I have another five weeks until renewal date for my domain&#8211;so I guess I&#8217;ll wait and see.</p>
