The Wait.

Waiting for cycle day one.

Wait.

Waiting for the bleeding to cease.

Wait.

Waiting until my follicle bursts.

Wait.

Waiting for a time to be together.

Wait.

Waiting for two long and agonizing weeks.

Wait.

Waiting for three minutes to show pink lines.

Wait.

Waiting for the doctor to draw blood.

Wait.

Waiting to see a flutter of a heartbeat.

Wait.

Waiting to actually throw up.

Wait.

Waiting for my pants to get tight.

Wait.

Waiting to hear a heartbeat.

Wait.

Waiting to pass the twelve week mark.

Wait.

Waiting to tell everyone.

Wait.

Waiting to feel movement.

Wait.

Waiting to see the gender.

Wait.

Waiting to decorate a nursery.

Wait.

Waiting to decide on a name.

Wait.

Waiting for the contractions to start.

Wait.

Waiting on the gush of water.

Wait.

Waiting for the doctor to arrive to push.

Wait.

Waiting for that first cry of life.

Wait.

Waiting for all of this to become a reality.

WAIT.
