The Baby Lust

The baby lust...it does not seem to be going away and I don't know what to do with it.

And the particular shape it takes has very little to do with the embryos in cold storage.

I want the miracle pregnancy from plain old sex.

I don't think this means that I want another child.  I don't.

I want the normal easy pregnancy I never had.  And I want a new baby.

I wonder if it's just I want SOMETHING and the only shape I know to inhabit desire is a baby.


Maybe what I actually need is to go on a date.  hmmm.

    That (especially the last half) may be the single smartest sentence ever written.
