I am the worst pregnant lady around. I tried to stop drinking and smoking. I succeeded for a while, with both. And I failed for a while with both. And I'm still trying and am succeeding with drinking, but not so much with the smoking. It comes in waves. These terrible cravings and feelings of being trapped in a well. Actually it feels more like being trapped in the eye of a tornado. The world is whooshing by around me. Flurries of lives being lived, transactions being completed, relationships beginning and ending and I'm standing still and nothing is happening. I can't hear anything I can comprehend, I can't reach into it or my hand will be ripped off, I can't step into it or I'll cease to exist. Everything is completely beyond my grasp. I sit at home and think and read and read and read and take baths. Then I go out for a while and drink coffee by myself and read by myself. I come home and watch TV and play popcap games.
What I can say is this. When you haven't been drinking or smoking or drinking caffeine, drinking decaf coffee is like smoking crack.
And that's about all I can say for myself. At least I'm not smoking crack.

And another part of me goes, "Hey, my mom shot heroin when she was pregnant with me."
So, you know.
Some people stop eating fish when they're pregnant.
