I see no other way to politely include this entry then to elaborate on the last excerpt that included a note about the additional blood pumping through my system.  Perhaps I'm too devoted to the fleeting thought of promising to be "just as candid as these authors" when reading others' accounts of having a baby in their womb.  Oh, well, half of them being doctors isn't going to reign me back from being a resolute blogger.  Here goes nothing:  

The long and short is that requesting "rougher" can lead to "No Adult Playtime for You".  Who cares about soup, this isn't fun when you've got undue amounts of lively zest and energy!  I think I now understand what being "...for the birds" means when the doc prescribes no sex.  Everyone says it's healthy.  Bum deal.  My husband and I figuratively sat in the corner and counted down the days until the timeout session was over.  Let me tell you that absence does make the heart grow fonder.  In the end this little doctoral wager over my health stance was unwarranted.  I WAS FINE!  Gut instinct (or bl*#d-and-guts in this case...well maybe no guts...) said that I was fine.  Urged brain power told me to call the medical professional.  When an entire 9-month process is literally broken down into weeks, two of them is a true chunk of the goal.  Either way, it's good to know that all is well everywhere.  Now if I could just work on the real threats like learning how to not sleep on my back...

P.S.-  Am I a bashful American for second-guessing the keyed letter order of "s", "e", "x"?  Or perhaps just a little bit too loyal product of the Protestant Faith and Catholic school system?  Should it have been that blush-inducing?  I mean, that it where the baby came from, right?  Always the questions...
