Back then, we were often in a perpetual state of undress to dress and undress again, always helping each other wipe juices off of mouths and backs and stomachs, giggling while plucking tissues from their box, feeling younger than usual and forgetting what time it was. Now, newly married, I lie very still so as not to let any liquids drip out of me. My prenatal vitamins are taken regularly, and my ovaries are optimistic about the future.
