I launched various household items at Mark while throwing him out of the house. I got home and he and Mark were drawing it out on the walls. I almost sent myself into labor with that argument. Brown, green, and black camouflage for a girl? No. He insisted we paint her room in camouflage. Aaron and I have fought about the vast array of pink things that are now strewn around the house-he hates it, I love it. I walk around what will be her room, putting a few more of the pretty pink dresses in the drawers. Aaron is away, but I want the nursery done so we can enjoy the next few weeks once he returns. Once it passes, I try to finish what I came in here for. It seems like they’re coming more frequently. I grip the dresser and try to breathe through it. “Oh, Chloe, if you’d like to come out, please wait until your Daddy gets back,” I insist, holding my belly as another Braxton Hicks contraction hits. You’re strong, beautiful, and no one’s consolation prize. To Crystal, there are few women who can endure the life you do.
