Expecting spring I can't think of your name or your gender, because i'll have to talk to your father first and then let genetics take care of the rest. Sometimes i think that seeing your face will be like someone touching my life with a magical wand. Other days i'm terrified by thinking i won't know how to take care of you, or me, and i won't be able to tell you the bedtime stories you need to hear every night. Though most of the times i just imagine the look in your eyes, so attentive to life, and i see myself holding my breath so you're not aware that being by your side ties me to the world.
This is an excerpt from a quite longer text i wrote last year.
I was going to write an entry trying to explain how i feel but i think this explains it better, even if i wasn't expecting a child then.
I'm almost four months pregnant. Our baby should be here in spring, around April or May.
I'm not nauseated anymore and my belly is only starting to kick out.
We are happy and thrilled and amazed.
Of course i'll keep you posted, have i ever let you down?
