They Don't Tell You

They don't tell you that you will miss being pregnant.

They don't tell you that somehow the expectations of the days to come; the moment in time while you wait is so beautiful; that last bit of time that is just you.

​They don't tell you that even after the babies are here and you can hear them and smell them and look in their face and be delighted by their giggles, that there will be those times, especially when you are alone, that you will miss being pregnant.
