#Expecting

An expecting parent is a provisional negotiator daily at the mercy of an unseen tenant growing in their belly. They elegantly stage bouts of ravenous appetite and hormonal rebellion while sampling anxiety for the future à la carte. Praised by all as a treasured vessel, in reality they’re nothing more than a living scale tracking every ounce gained. Fetal kicks herald joy, yet also signal the commencement of a round-the-clock endurance test. The most dramatic production begins well before the final act: birth.
