                                Moving Day

Begin Log:

I hate moving day.  If I had my way, we would have had an
emergency in engineering and Tom would have moved all our
stuff without me.  He drafted Harry to help move the heavy stuff.

Two moves in six months.  Almost six years on Voyager and this
is only the second move.  I know that we are on the same ship but
all this moving is upsetting...(sobbing)

I know that we had to make the move.  Tom pointed it out to me
that we needed the extra room.  He jokeningly commented that we
could just put the baby between us in our bed.  For that suggestion
I threw the first thing that I could reach at him...was it may fault it
was a heavy statue?  I do feel a little guilty about his concussion
and that overnight stay in sickbay.  He was supposed to dodge it
not let it hit him.

Chakotay was not amused.  The official position of the Captain
and Second in Command is the next time I put Tom in sickbay
overnight, I will spend time in the brig... no matter how pregnant I
am or how Tom feels about the injury.  Chakotay was very direct
about me learning to control my temper, he's calling this last
episode spousal abuse.  Tuvok had doubled my mediation
secessions.  Doc has actually been on my side.  He claimed that my
pregnancy was causing me to react more extremely, the extreme
reactions should moderate after the baby is born.  All these
hormones are destroying my self control...not that I had so much
before this started.  The irony of this is the only time I had ever
thrown anything at Tom before this pregnancy was on their
wedding night.  He joked that they could cut loss and just be
themselves now.  If he only know.

I'm now waddling.  I know it.  I threatened to put anyone in
engineering on report if anyone laughed.  No one snickers while
when I waddle by.  Tom tried to rationalize this new development,
calling it a natural part of pregnancy.  He should know, he's been
studying pregnancy, child birth and child development.  According
to his research, our child should be bright but grow at the normal
human rate, totally unlike Naomi who seems to be on the
developmental fast track.  I think that he's worrying about
fatherhood and this is his way of coping.

We now have a nursery.  It's small.  It mostly empty.  We have a
few stuff animals, some cloth picture books, plus Naomi's old crib
and changing table.  The first baby shower is scheduled for next
week.
