Respite ...15/21

People say that a baby changes everything. It is true. At first, he was very attentive, nearly affectionate. I think he simply relished in all the attention he was getting from our families. It goes without saying that both sets of mothers had long afternoon tea sessions, discussing names, the nursery and gender.
They consulted him for everything and made sure he was well looked after. I was mostly indisposed with morning sickness, so I was scolded for not taking enough care of myself during this most important time of our lives. But I didn't care, happy for some respite.
