She's throwing up. She hates throwing up. She doesn't even call it throwing up, she calls it "ralphing". She throws up on cue every morning at 5:25 like clockwork and he's always there, holding a wet cloth to her neck, pulling back her hair, holding her. She hates throwing up, but loves the reason that makes her throw up. However, every morning at 5:25 she looks into his hazel eyes and announces "You did this to me."

She's fat. Oh if you ask him, she's beautiful and glowing. But if you ask her, she's fat. None of her clothes fit, she has bought new bra's and even pants. Pants! She hates pants. She can't find skirts or dresses that she likes that doesn't make her look like a cow, so she wears those damn pants. Every morning as she gets dressed for work she looks into his hazel eyes and announces "You did this to me/"

She's having a sonogram. Do you know what that means? Nasty jelly on her belly. It's disgusting, it's horrible, and she hates it. She is so nervous to see the picture on the screen. She's even more nervous about having the jelly on her stomach and a dirty wand pressed against her skin. As she waits for the doctor to come in she looks at you and says "You did this to me."

She's hurting. She won't take drugs yet, but you know she's suffering from a lot of pain. The doctor just came in to check her and said 'You'll have your baby before dinner." It's 4:45 now. Soon she'll be a mother. However right now she's breaking your hand, and has looked at you at least 10 times to say 'You did this to me." You couldn't deny it if you wanted to.
Suddenly, a cry fills the room. It's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. You don't really know what to say. The doctors asks you to cut the chord and you do. You look down at this tiny little miracle. She looks just like her momma, like the woman you love. The nurse cleans her off and hands her back to her momma. You wait to see what she will say. You have no idea how she will handle motherhood, but you are willing to do all that you can to make it eaiser on her. She looks up at you with tears in her eyes and says...
"Will...we did this...we made her"
You don't know what to say other than to hold your new family. You want to keep both of your girls safe. The tiny one resting in the arms of the woman you love gives your heart a new reason to beat. Emma looks up at you and says "Wanna hold her daddy?"
She's tiny, and perfect. You know beyond a shadow of a doubt that one thing is true...you both did this and it's the best thing you have ever done...
