In four days time the first trimester will be over. This is just the kind of milestone that warrants reflection. No, seriously.
We’ve ushered in the concept of multiple birth to our consciousness. We’ve had climactic doctor’s visits. We’ve listened to the sound of heart beats seemingly in stereo. We’ve discovered Beth is clever enough to notice when a bulge appears in…
