Olivia is going to have her second child soon. When her friend Ava signs them up for a painting party, she finds out about the fun things her husband does when they’re not together. What will happen next?
I am currently pregnant with my second child. You know how people say that the second pregnancy will be more emotional? I wasn’t going to believe it because I thought my mother was making it up.
But it turns out that story is partly true. But it wasn’t about my baby; it was about my husband.
When I was pregnant with my second child, I wanted to hide away and eat all the junk food I could think of.
But Ava, my best friend, wanted to get me out of the house so we could do something.
“I heard about this cool pottery place,” she told me as she made me a strawberry drink and I propped up my sore feet.
She went on, “You sign up for a kind of pottery party.”
“And we make pottery?” I asked while listing a hundred other things I’d rather do.
“May not always. It would be fun to paint pots instead. Liv, let’s get it done! She smiled over the mixer as she said, “We can make things for the nursery.”
I said, “Fine.” “But you’ll owe me whatever the baby craves that night.”
