The Spirit of Spring

Sunday 20th March

Spring has most definitely sprung. The sky is blue today and the air clear and warm and full of the smell of new life. The cherry trees are filling with their delicate temporal blossom. People are uncurling from their long hibernation.

And my body seems to be in keeping with the spirit of spring. Of course I knew I was but now I really feel like I am. I mean, my waist has been thickening for some time and my boobs have been, well blooming but now they have entered this new stage of sensitivity and I look like I have had enhancement surgery. Most significantly though I have this bump and it's like suddenly, before I am ready to tell, my body is announcing to the world that I am pregnant! All of a sudden I look like a pregnant lady and it's like a full on outward realisation that I am pregnant.

This must be a good thing though right? In my heart there's a glimmering beam of hope for both of you. Your Dad's eyes fill with pride and adoration at my changing shape.
