“Why is my pregnant wife the only one in the kitchen?” — I Asked My Mother and Sisters After Finding Camila Washing a Mountain of Dishes at 10 P.M.

Months passed.

Then Camila told me she was pregnant.

The joy I felt in that moment was overwhelming. I remember lifting her off the floor in the middle of our living room while she laughed and told me to be careful. My mother cried when we shared the news, and my sisters began discussing baby names before dessert was even served.

For a while the house felt filled with anticipation.

But pregnancy brings changes that are impossible to ignore if you truly pay attention.
