Hello hello

[afuna]

Some pretty intense life changes lately. I’m pregnant and due soon. So yeah that’s happening!

One thing I didn’t expect is that carpal tunnel is very common in pregnancy and I’m one of the lucky ones.

Basically means my usual hobbies (coding, knitting, playing video games) are off the table. I can still type but keeping it primarily to work hours.

Instead I’ve been reading: inhaling books in a way I haven’t since... idk, highschool.

Lots of them have been baby/parenting related (my first instinct when faced with uncertainty is still to read up on it), but also been a lot of YA fantasy. I may run out of known good things to read at some point, and I haven’t even started maternity...

So hello! It’s been years I know but figured I’d come around here again and remember my roots <3

feel free to take the dreamlamb icon btw

Yeah, the same hormones that are altering your pelvis and hips are mangling your wrists. Good news, though: by the day after you deliver your carpal tunnels will have recovered, modulo whatever damage you've done them in the meantime. (Look on the bright side: it wrecks some people's ankles. Yuck.)

And good luck with the disembarkation of your passenger, and may you both (both, right, not all three or all four? :v) go through the disembarkation process with ease :)

Oof. I think I might prefer ankles to wrists if I had a choice... but since I don’t I’m just glad it’s not both!

And yes it’s just me and one passenger :D
