All Quiet on the Midwestern Front
Have you noticed how nice and quiet things have been around the Souzek Republic lately? Everything is peaceful and everyone is as composed as can be. There are no anxious parents-to-be waking up every morning wondering whether today will be the big day. There is no pregnant woman growing exhausted from the physical burden of carrying a rather sizable baby around all day, desperately seeking news of progress from the doctor on Wednesday. There is no nervous expectant father dreaming nightly about every possible permutation of labor. There is no grandmother-to-be with bags packed and a full tank of gas, sleeping by the phone, ready to make record time from central Wisconsin to northwest Indiana at a moment's notice. And there is definitely not a growing chorus of half-anonymous people, exclaiming in unison "So, NO BABY YET?!?"
Do you believe me?
