I’m starting to think that stacking superstars is becoming a bit of a trap. You can have all the raw ability in the world, but if the chemistry isn't there, it feels like a waste of a season. Does anyone else feel like "superteams" are actually getting harder to pull off lately?

Oh, they certainly do grow... My son is already four years old, yet I’m still sitting here two cup sizes larger than usual... and now, during this pregnancy, they just keep expanding... it truly is a phenomenon...😲

What really gets under my skin, though, is when my grandmother calls me, sounding completely panicked, to interrogate whether I’m doing okay because she had some terrible dream (which she then proceeds to recount in vivid detail) and fears something might happen to me or the baby... and then she spends half an hour lecturing me on being careful and taking it easy... as if I need more stress in my life... so I tell her quite firmly that I don't want to hear those things anymore because it only causes unnecessary anxiety, and she responds with such offense, "Well, am I not allowed to tell you what I dream about anymore?" NO...... please, spare me...🙂
On top of all that, I lost seven pounds during my fourth month because the morning sickness was unbearable, and honestly, I still struggle to eat anything at all; there are days where a simple bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup is all I can manage before feeling full, even though I force myself to eat more... and every single time, she asks, "Well, what does the doctor say? Is everything okay with the baby since you're losing weight?" Yes, every time I go in for a checkup, my weight loss and nausea are the primary topics of conversation with my physician...

Getting pregnant on the first try happens occasionally... some women really do just have all the luck. 😁

Well, yes... I suppose I fall into that category of "lucky" women myself...
During my first pregnancy, we had sex on the fifth day after my last period ended; it also happened to be around New Year's, and my partner had to head out for an assignment two days later, not returning home for three whole weeks... so we just figured, whatever happens, happens... and it happened immediately...

And now, with this second pregnancy, it's a similar story... my husband is working away again, and it was only the third day since my last cycle started, so we honestly thought there was absolutely no chance... yet, when he finally makes it home for the weekend after three weeks away, I get to greet him with the news that I'm pregnant...

But hey, life is wonderful...
