Hiding this pregnancy is so difficult. My morning sickness decided to make a visit overnight and the bathroom upstairs is in the middle of the hallway. I spent majority of my night trying to quietly throw up.
How the hell do you quietly throw up?

Now we're at at food drive for the homeless and needy at Grams' church and I'm super tired, and hungry.

"Enjoy." I smiled before yawning

"I see somebody didn't get any sleep last night." Melanie said quietly as we served the people

I chuckled "Girl" I kept my reply simple

"Same here. I felt so disrespectful doing that in his grandma's house but these pregnancy hormones just-"

"Girl we are in a a church." I nudged her

"Ok, it ain't Sunday." She joked

"You going to hell" I shook my head "And I ain't going with you."

"God forgives."

"Terrible." I tried not to laugh at her "I'm gonna' get some more yams from the back before I run out." I put my serving spoon down

As I was headed to the back, I saw Chris helping people take boxes of food to their car.

He's so fine

I kept my thoughts as pure as possible as I reached for the tray of yams.

"Oh no sweetie. I got it" Grams came from behind me

"It's fine Grams."

"I insist. Can't have you carrying heavy stuff with that baby." She whispered

I damn near dropped the tray after hearing her.

"Baby?" I pretended to be confused

"Mhm." She smiled

"I'm not-"

"Girl ain't no need to lie." She fanned me off

"Chris told you?"

"No, but you just did."

I held my mouth slightly agape in embarrassment

"Besides, I can smell that baby from a mile away. I knew the moment I saw you. That glow is different from any other glow."

I chuckled "Please don't tell my sister yet. I wanted to announce it after getting out of my first trimester."
