Due Date
January 12, 2008
Today is the due date for my second child. My daughter, almost 4, is off at a birthday party. My midwives left a little while ago. There are some lovely ladies cleaning my house while I hideout in our basement. I have resigned to being so pregnant that even balancing this laptop is a puzzle: I have managed to an awkward belly/pillow setup.
I cannot walk or get on the floor to play 3 bears.
I cannot sleep because my belly has become a weighty appendage and hormones think production time is 24/7.
I have resigned to eating cookies on the couch while watching x-file reruns.
I no longer care that my belly is full of dark purple stretch marks and pointed towards the floor.
It’s all about me right now. At least as much as I can make it be.
