• Month One


    Mommy,
    I am only 4 inches long,
    but I have all my organs.
    I love the sound of your voice.
    The sound of your heart beat
    is my favorite lullaby.


    Month Two

    Mommy,
    Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
    If you could see me,
    you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
    I'm not big enough to survive outside my home, though.
    It is so nice and warm in here.


    Month Three

    You know what, Mommy?
    I'm a boy!!
    I hope that makes you happy.
    I always want you to be happy.
    I don't like it when you cry.
    You sound so sad.
    It makes me sad, too,
    and I cry with you even though
    you can't hear me.


    Month Four

    Mommy,
    my hair is starting to grow.
    It is very short and fine,
    but I will have a lot of it.
    I spend a lot of my time exercising.
    I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
    and stretch my arms and legs.
    I am becoming quite good at it, too.


    Month Five

    You went to the doctor today.
    Mommy, he lied to you.
    He said that I'm not a baby.
    I am a baby, Mommy... your baby.
    I think and feel.
    Mommy, what's abortion?


    Month Six

    I can hear that doctor again.
    I don't like him.
