My neighbor on the first floor is pregnant. The neighbor who lives in the rear apartment, the one with no teenagers screaming outside your window all night and sole access to the lush, puppy friendly fenced-in backyard. The apartment that is exactly, 100% the same as ours (which we love) except like a zillion times better.
She shared her news after she spied me staring at her belly with that whole hmmm is she?...or is she having trouble dropping the holiday weight look on my face. "Yes, I'm pregnant. Five months." she announced finally, letting me off the hook.
"Wow." I said. I thought to congratulate her, say a few kind words appropriate for such an announcement, and I wanted to. I really wanted to. I fully intended to. How wonderful, a baby! I smiled wide, heart full of pure joy at the promise of new life and said, "So, you guys'll be moving then, huh?"
