Written for Three Word Wednesday prompt: bump, knuckle, transfix…and in celebration with friends of mine who just announced their family will be growing. 🙂
echoes from the silence 
Clever, very clever. When mine was done, they showed me in the picture, but the bump still did not look like a boy’s 🙂

As always, thanks for the visit!!

Terrific haiku. We stayed ‘in the dark’, always, waiting to be surprised.

Thanks so much, Alt! I’m not sure if my friends will “stay in the dark” or not. They’ve had one sonogram–too soon to tell! ~Paula
