You know one thing that toddlers sorely lack? Sympathy. And patience. Okay, that's two things, so sue me.
Specifically, sympathy and patience with their mama when she has to spend all evening running to the bathroom with delightful diarrhea. Toddlers in my experience ;) are remarkably intolerant of such behavior. I'm sure it's just a design flaw or something. Probably to be fixed in the next release.
Yeah, so I don't know whether I should really say that I'm having diarrhea as a symptom/result of this pregnancy, because it's not too frequent (thank goodness), I'm talking about once a week here. But still, that's consistently at least once a week since I got pregnant, whereas before that I don't think I had had it in months. So, one does have to wonder. Specifically, one has to wonder "what the hell can I do about this and how can I keep it from continuing throughout the entire pregnancy??"
Oh, and then one has to go entertain one's toddler and give him some good attention to keep him from total meltdown. And also, drink some water. 'Cause one doesn't want to get dehydrated and such.
Luckily, one's -- eh, to hell with that -- Luckily, my aforementioned toddler went to sleep pretty easily and only a little later than what-used-to-be-usual-until-a-couple-months-ago. And so, I must away to bed myself, for lo the earth doth spin apace, and the morning cometh way too goddamn fucking early. Forsooth, y'all.

Let me know- this name is my hotmail and IM name, so I'm easy to find. Hope to see you on board!
