Crying

I don't get it. You are one happy baby when you're awake and not hungry. You smile content, knowing that I am one soft whimper away, ready to give you anything you want. But sometimes when you sleep, you sleep troubled. Every once in a while you cry out, like your heart is breaking. And then you sniff and go back to sleep.

And I think and I think, trying to remember if I had any sad thoughts when you were in my womb. Any sad thoughts at all, and I can't think of any. I had murderous thoughts, plenty of it, what with my temper, but that was it. Most of the time I was a happy camper.

So why do you cry out in your sleep?
