Thank you so much for sticking to playing through the story, despite that damn error! Yep, living through covid has been so much about pending, waiting, and dealing with uncertainties. There are some weird parallels between those universal feelings and what I experienced during my first pregnancy, so that's what I started writing about. And then I couldn't stop... and then came the deadline, before I reached a satisfying conclusion. Oh well..!
Thankfully, we reached a happy ending - or rather a beginning! The rest of my pregnancy went well, and in October we became parents to a healthy little boy. Now he's seven months old and is just figuring out how to crawl, pull cables, eat grass, and all those wonderful things. Parenting is a crazy ride, but I'm grateful every day.
