Waiting

The due date has come and gone, the house, basement, and shed are in order, the freezer’s full of food, and we’re so confident in the perpetuity of our waiting that on Tuesday I even scheduled an eye doctor appointment for yesterday (after I built a monument to M with blocks).

The baby and its parents also gave N a present on Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning when I got out of bed she was no longer in hers; I found her outside.
