Love or Hate being pregnant

I've seen some conversations on mom groups about how some women love being pregnant while others hate being pregnant.

Personally, especially as someone who never wanted to be pregnant in the first place (a little alien creature inside of me is going to be moving around? ew), it's just been a thing. It hasn't changed my daily life, other than I can't breathe and now I can't bend over properly. Oh, and I wake up 5 times a night to go pee. I suppose that since I've fluctuated up and down the same 10 lbs the whole pregnancy and that I'm a plus size person, shifting a few pounds from one spot to baby bump doesn't make a huge difference in my abilities and general self.

I certainly don't love it. I feel like a whale.

But it doesn't suck (yet).

When to teach about Pride

I'm a librarian. I love finding diverse books. I've really been looking recently and starting to think about what sort of books I'm going to read to baby. After all, she's going to have two mommies, a daddy, and an uncle raising her. It's not exactly a conventional situation.

I ordered a bunch of books for my library recently. Among them were Pride Colors, a boardbook about the different colors on the pride flag, and Rainbow : a first book a pride, a picture book about the colors as well. As a librarian, I don't process (i.e., put labels on and enter books into the system) new books. Well, I processed those two. One of our library assistants handed them to me, stating that because of her faith, she didn't feel comfortable processing them. She feels that some things are for adults.

I'm blown away. This assistant is super sweet, very kind, and has no problems with either me (who is out as bi and poly at work!) or our gay coworker. But, then again, we're adults.

I guess there really is prejudice everywhere.
