Day 8 and Day 9. A Pregnancy Journal
Day 8. Replay of Previous Sunday, Replete with Pittsburgh Loss Vs. Denver Day 9. I'm Still Here. She's calling off the hook this morning on her way to work. So nice to turn the ringer off. She can call all she wants, and email too. She's worried that I've skipped out, or worse. I was out of it when she called last night. Half asleep, I answered the phone reluctantly. I let her think whatever she wants. I sounded funny, she said. She's knows I'm depressed. She asks me if I've done anything stupid. Not lately, I said.

Day 2. What We Don't Know and How We Are Blessed By It.
Day 2. What We Don't Know and How We Are Blessed By It. A long day ago I started this journal. If you're wondering where I got the 'Love Nest' part of the title, it's my pet name for her. But today it's the word preggers that keeps going through my head and I write it down just to see how I feel about it. I don't like it.
