Pregnancy update

Yes, I know. It’s been a while and I have a lot to catch up on. Let’s start with the arrival of my best friend Courtney and her little follower, Paige. Damien and I had just returned to the Kentarou House after… a break. 😉 Which, by the way, I’m very pregnant now. It’s a bit disorientating sometimes, but I don’t mind. It’s all going to be worth it in the end. Anyways, we were in the family room relaxing when Artemis pointed out that someone was staring in the window. I flipped when I saw my best friend Courtney outside and immediately ran to greet her. I couldn’t believe she was a vampire like me now – although she was a few years older than me now, physically. It was awesome seeing her again after so long and she told me all about Rowan and his family. He’s married now with two little girls!  Well, after that we talked for a while and I ended up explaining the whole pregnancy thing to her. She’s almost as excited as I am. Paige is just adorable too. She’s really sweet, but like Cambria, she’s distracted easily. At least she keeps herself occupied fairly often.

I felt the first real kick today. A few days ago it was just a butterfly-touch; very light and almost unnoticeable. I was shocked when I felt it and I’ve been looking everywhere for Damien so he could feel it too. I want to surprise him. 🙂 The whole pregnancy experience has been weird and wonderful at the same time; although I don’t care much for the occasional cramp and the fierce cravings. I asked Damien if I could have an Iberian Lynx one time – those are endangered you know – and he compromised by bringing me a Canadian Lynx. It wasn’t as tasty, but I couldn’t damage the species any more than it had been.

So, I guess that’s pretty much caught you up now. There’s been a lot of drama going on with Serena and the others, but I’m not too sure what it’s about. Anyways, I’m feeling another craving coming on so I better go find Damien. I think I’m going to have to get him to hunt for me from now until the baby’s born – it’s getting hard to walk around, much less run.
