Today I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I am eternally grateful for my cubicle's proximity to the bathroom. Whenever I start thinking, "Gee, I don't feel pregnant," I receive a gentle reminder, like an unexpected jag of crying and vomiting (thankfully, alone) in the bathroom at work and then topping it all off with a bloody nose.
"It’s interesting—the way in which one has to balance life—because you have to know when to let go and when to pull back.... There’s always some liminal (as opposed to subliminal) space in between which is harder to inhabit because it never feels as safe as moving from one extreme to another."
