Do you ever lay awake at night and wonder if the baby inside me will never stop growing? That it will never escape my body, but it will just grow and grow until it's bigger than you then bigger than the house then bigger than the city? Until it's just some massive incarnation of the reproductive impulse created by evolution and hardened by life, accumulating in this one being, who's in importantance dwarfs and shames that of all other life forms in the history of creation? And then it will keep expanding until it and I found in the most intimate connection, collapse into a black hole, and in the consummate act of motherhood, we sacrifice our bodies to calve an infinity of new universes? Most nights I think about work, or Star Wars. I don't think the pregnancy has quite hit you for real, yet. Mostly Star Wars if I'm being honest.
Personally, I LIE awake thinking all that. LAYING awake is usually what started the problem! Tee hee hee!
