  Going to sleep at night and getting up in the morning are just two of my problems carrying a demon child. I've had weird cravings and if I get the wrong thing I'll puke it up. My baby is so picky. Over time I was thinking my baby was a girl. My mom thinks it's a girl and my best friend, Adeline thinks it's a boy.
  It doesn't matter to me and my guesses change all the time. It's the tenth day now and my baby will kick and talk and think. She...or he just loves causing me pain. I had gotten more used to it and didn't hurt as bad but I'd still scream in pain.
This morning my baby woke me up at eight o'clock wanting cereal. My mother was in the kitchen (as always) and gave me a piece of paper. "I've picked out some names"
"Of course you have. Let me see"

I know long lists through the alphabet. I chose Felicity and Luke. "I knew you'd choose Felicity. It's my favorite so I'm glad you did. Luke is a surprise though. I was sure about Cody. Okay so do you think boy or girl?"
"Today I think Luke but I don't know. The baby's not sure about Luke for a name but he likes Felicity. What do you think honey?" I asked my baby. Cody ran through my head. My mother rubbed my back to mentally ease the pain. "He said Cody" I told my mother as she jumped for joy. "So who are you going to be?" My mother asked my baby "Cody or Felicity?"
"He said he hasn't decided yet" I told her.
