#1 I had a hunch that I was pregnant when we rode our bikes to the book fair on a Sunday in mid-September. I was sure, scared of how sure I was. I wanted to be strong, to shrug it off, but I knew. I had no proof, no test, just this body that I’d presided over for 29 years.

#2 I was always trying to avoid wanting things. I knew I could convince Dustin to get married, but did I want it enough for both of us. Did I want to be married enough to campaign for it and risk taking the blame if things went wrong.

#3 I was engaged to be married to Dustin, and my woman's intuition was telling me that everything about the wedding was wrong. I was miserable half the time, but I was sure things would work out eventually.

#4 I was pregnant, and my friends were unfazed. We had spent the past decade huddled in the corner of a bar, convinced we were pregnant even when it wasn’t possible.
