09/11: Object of My Desire by Starpoint

You glanced my away, I almost lost all control
Anxiety had taken hold
My body quivers, hot flashes ignited in me, ooh-ooh
Gazing deep into my eyes
Hello, anon! You are the lucky winner of the “which ask do I answer where someone is asking how I’ve been doing” game!
(Seriously, I’ve gotten several of these and I just wanna let y’all know that I love you all so much for checking in on me.)
But as to how I’m doing, I’ve been busy being a mom! Everyone, meet MacKenzie:
She is two months old and absolutely the love of my life. Currently, she’s snuggled on my chest (we had our 2-month vaccines yesterday, so we’re feeling a little pucky), so I’m restricted to doing everything one-handed, but that doesn’t even bother me like it normally would.
So, yeah, I’ve been busy taking care of a newborn these past couple of months, which is why I’ve been absent. She’s starting to settle into a routine, which gives me a little bit more free time, so I’m looking forward to being around here, even if just a little bit.
(And I know it’s Mileven Week and I wish I could participate, but I just don’t have that kind of time, even though the desire is there. I’ll be cheering on from the sidelines, though!)
Anyway, so yeah, this is what I’ve been up to. Thanks for checking in, anon!
It’s been a while since I’ve been ‘round these parts. Turns out being pregnant is very exhausting, both mentally and physically. But, regardless, I’ve been plinking away at a Mileven promise ring fic and, finally, here it is!
Hope you all enjoy and let me know what you think!

Mileven successfully making it out of the third stage of their relationship, Disillusionment.
It’s crazy because in the post about different stages of a love relationship, in this particular phase they are referring to the couples who have been married for years and have children. And these are just two fifteen year old kids who met each other 2.4 years ago and have been in a relationship for 1.4 years.

Heyyy! Came here just to ask you how you been lately! I miss you here 🥺
Hope you are well! ❤️
Aww, thanks for checking in, anon!
I've been ok, but between being really busy and also very pregnant (just over 5 weeks to go holy shit), I kinda haven't had a lot of time for really anything fun.
What time I do have, and when I have the freaking mental energy, I've been chipping away at that Mileven promise ring fic I started over a month ago and frustratingly haven't finished yet (though it's managed to creep up to just under 10k words thus far, so maybe it's a little more than chipping away at it lmao). I've also been reading a lot (novels, not fic, because it's easy for me to do while lying down and I'm all about that as baby girl has decided that her favorite fucking activity is burrowing into my pelvis like she's grinding away at my bones to make her bread and laying down is about the only thing that makes that manageable - how my hip bones are supposed to survive this, I have no clue).
Honestly, though, it's like my attention span and energy levels have left the building these days and I blame it entirely on pregnancy hormones giving me the mental capacity of a narcoleptic goldfish. Naturally, this will change once I actually give birth, but change how, I'm not sure yet. Hopefully if the husband unit and I can figure out a way to get a handful of hours of sleep most nights, I'll get some of my attention span back, but that feels overly optimistic and I'm not banking on anything until baby girl is actually here and we see how she does *~*being on the outside*~*.
But I very much miss being around here more often and wish I had the energy to do more fandomy things these days!
