growing wonder

everyday i wake up and i notice how things have changed. i slowly get up... making sure im not making sudden movements.. i stretch my body.. knowing that if i stretch too much ill be out of breath.. i smile. another day.

i go down the stairs gingerly... its a 14 step stairway and at my present condition, i cannot very well bound down the steps. but i hurry just the same.

a sudden movement in my stomach startles me and my smile widens. he's awake.

my baby kit (as i temporarily call him heheh) is growing bigger everyday. I grow bigger everyday. its scary and its wonderful knowing that i have a baby growing inside me. a baby who will someday become his own man. i wonder what things lie before us.. but for now... i touch my stomach.. smile a little and laugh a bit inside when kit moves as if in response to my caress.
