Alpina's blog post - Elsie is close

I am so angry lately, which you can also see here in my blog: I have become even less tolerant with all those who make the world a worse place. I am a nest-building mother to be, maybe that's why. I want this world to be a good place to live in for my daughter (I still don't know if I am right about this, although my doctor knows. But I told him to keep it a secret).

I am in my seventh month now and feel as awkward as I look. But my health is fine, they say, and so I just wait and see what is going to happen to me in the course of the next few weeks. My friend Elsie, though, is very close to the big day: her suitcase is packed and we think that she can't last more than a few days. She is wonderful, and really excited, and I can see from close quarters what it is going to be like. She does not seem to be afraid at all, and so I have decided not to show any anxiety, either, although I am almost scared stiff when I think of what my body will have to go through soon.
