authors lie.

i went for a check up today because i was having some pretty bad cramping, but it turns out that it was just some round ligament pain... i know that i am a freak and i worry about every little thing that seems to be out of the norm, but i would like to formally complain and blame this on the many authors of the books i read. describing a pain that will bring tears to some womens' eyes and take their breath away as a 'discomfort,' is not doing anyone justice. i realize that these authors are not trying to scare the poo poo out of any woman trying to conceive, but come on... tell me that the pain can go from a little uncomfortable all the way to excruciating, dont make me think that something is wrong with me because i can describe my pain as being a little more intense than a tad uncomfortable... thank you.

in other good news, i did get the results back from our down syndrome test and everything came back negative! woohoo! so it doesnt necessarily mean that the baby will be perfect, but of all the tests they ran, our little one is not susceptible...
