Pineapple Angel Food Cake

There was a bump on my belly. And then, there was a baby in my arms.

There was a hospital stay. Hushed whispers of amazement. Two shell-shocked parents afraid to sleep, certain that this dream would be stolen in the night.

There was exhaustion. Waking, startled, to the almost silent sound of a pacifier escaping a tiny mouth. Days blended into nights…
