Still no baby. I’m not answering the phone and when I do, that’s what I say.
“Enjoy these last days” says one voice of mine. “Ha! Give me my body back so I can sleep somewhere besides my side and walk like a normal person!” says another.
“Mama mama! Do you still have a baby brother/sister in your belly?” asks my daughter as she hugs my belly. “Wow! Look how big your belly is! Here, I’ll get it out for you.” She lifts my shirt and pulls the creature out from my belly button, delicately opening her palm for me to see. I thank her and kiss her beautiful hands.
