It's pee-time

Sorry to be so blunt. But I have to go like every 10 minutes. Urgently.
Apprantly it has something to do with my kidneys working harder than they normally do (which also makes me more thirsty), and because tiny N's oven is getting slightly bigger.
Speaking of which : at this point, tiny N apparently already has a mouth. While it's still smaller than a grain of rice. Weird! But in a nice way :-) ...

How people react to tiny N

Well, let's be honest. So far only three people know. P, my family doctor, and I.

The Doc :
- Congratulations! There's no doubt about it. You're pregnant! I'd say open up a bottle of champagne and celebrate, but of course: you can't have any! (ha, ha, ha)
- Expect to become really sick as of next week. (thanks for preparing me doc)

P:
- Cool! That's cool - I think.
- There goes our summer holiday
- I don't know what that means (when I showed him the pregnancy test with the big plus)
- Are those things reliable? (about foresaid pregnancy test)
- Oh boy (after I told him the professional verdict of the doctor)
- Oh... (after I told him the result of the blood test)
- You told me it could take a year before you got pregnant (yes, I told him that. And I believed it. No one in his/her right mind hopes to get pregnant from having "unsave" sex ONCE. Yes, ONCE.)
- Also : he bought a new tuxedo and a new iPod the day after I told him. Who said only women go on emo-shopping trips?
- And: he cooked me dinner for the first time in...4 years? (could be more)

N herself:
- Plus. I knew it (after taking the pregnancy test, which I could barely hold 'cause my hands were shaking like mad)
- I'm pregnant. I'm really pregnant. I'm pregnant. (this goes on like 24 hours a day)
- Help! What will happen to my body?? (already now, I'm afraid my breasts will explode any minute)
- How / when / who will I tell?
- But my main concern for now is P. I wish he would put a smile on his face. Start feeling happy about it. As long as he walks around with a look in his eyes that says "I really can't take this", I can't feel happy either.
Maybe it's time to share the news with some close friends. There I'm pretty sure I will see some very honest and heartfelled smiles.

The N Files

The N Files, that's the title of my other blog. Active for more than three years now. Anonymous, but not completely so. And that's why I decided to start the "Tiny N Files". Believe me, I have my reasons. 6 days ago, Aunt Flo skipped her monthly visit. She's always (ALWAYS!!) very punctual. So I immediately knew something was going on.
Sure, there was the first stage of denial. It's that nasty flu I caught last week. My body is playing evil tricks on me, giving me false hope. Etcetera. But on Christmas Eve, I just knew.
On the 26th of December I did a pregnancy test (in the lavatories of a shopping mall, of all places), and bingo: a big, fat plus.
Tonight, I had the results of my blood test : the ultimate confirmation.

So here it is : N is pregnant. How 'bout that?
