WHAT LOVE IS
Tue ,07/09/2010“You’re pregnant.”
I lay there on the examining table, feet still in the stirrups position, and let the doctor’s words wash over me. Four months earlier, I had miscarried at two months; so I was almost afraid to believe the doctor’s words. There I was, still nineteen years old, married eight months, pregnant for the second time and scared to death. It was mid-February, and I would be twenty on the twenty-seventh.
“Your baby should come around the fourteenth of September,” Dr. Kemper continued. “We’ll get you set up with prenatal vitamins and monthly appointments. Congratulations.”
