Sweet child of mine,

Sometimes I think pregnancy brings out the best in people. It never occured to me, until I was pregnant, just how many mothers there are out there.  They’re like ants, they’re everywhere! When I went to the gas station up the street for some chocolate frosted donettes (mini donuts) and a bunch of chocolate goodies, I told the woman behind the counter, “Only a pregnant woman with cravings would buy this much junk food.” And she proceeded to tell me about the cravings she had during her pregnancy. And well… it seems everywhere I go, I’m either surrounded by other pregnant women or mothers with children. In some twilight zonish way, I’m reminded of the tv show, “Married with Children,” with Peggy and Al Bundy and realizing I’m married… with a kid on the way. It helps to be grateful that your daddy isn’t a beer-chugging shoe salesman, but it’s quite likely you can stick your hand out for money and he might fork it over. Don’t tell him I said that. Shhh…
Love
Mommy
