I Grew A Baby When I Had A Baby



I grew a baby while I had a baby, The voices became louder as my belly began to rise. “This will be hard” “This will be hard” “This will be hard” I had become ripe for comments by faces I would soon forget. People would talk of my hands being full, the divide (𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩.) In the evening song I would sooth limbs inside and out, humming and swaying through the doubt. I met my baby when I had a baby, and I cried and loved and wondered if ‘they’ were right. But looking at them, look at each other was finding myself, even all these years later. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 It can be hard and just as you want it. The things they don’t say. About having a baby when you have a baby.

Web design and development is a critical process for creating functional, user-friendly websites that serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. It involves elements like layout design, coding, user experience (UX), and responsiveness across various devices. Designers use tools like Adobe XD, Sketch, and Canva to create visually appealing designs. For those seeking assistance with design platforms, the Canva customer service number can be a helpful resource for troubleshooting or guidance. Web developers, on the other hand, turn these designs into functional websites using programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more, ensuring smooth operation and fast load times.
