I was young, younger than I even realized, but so elated as my belly swelled, as your wiggles made ripples on my abdomen. I couldn’t wait for your arrival but you indeed required waiting.

Perhaps today… Two weeks after your due date, and feeling like the Michelin-Tire Man, I resigned myself to my utter lack of control. It was only then you made your grand entrance, right in the middle of a snow storm.
