Feet. Look at That Word

Sunday, March 31 2002

new feetFeet. Look at that word enough times and it almost doesn’t make sense. Seems like a made up word. You check the spelling several times to make sure it’s correct. With a nurse’s strange juxtapostion over ghostly images of feet no bigger than my thumbnail it seems even more strange and unbelievable.

Reminds me of several weeks ago looking at a pregnancy test. “Is it true?!” we kept asking eachother. “This is the third one that has two bars, it has to be true!”.

And it is

true! We’re going to have a baby! It’s real!
