Oh, Jesus, God, come on.
Come on!
Oh, God!
You doing okay?
I still can't believe it's real.
Three more weeks to go.
You're right on schedule.
So everything's fine?
Everything's perfect.
Do you want to know yet, boy or girl?
It's not mandatory.
You're allowed to be surprised.
I still want to wait.
Okay, perfect.
How are you feeling otherwise?
How's the vomiting?
- Less? - Less, yeah.
Good.
I know it's been really rough for you.
But the finish line is in sight.
That's something to look forward to.
Why didn't you tell me you had an appointment today?
It was just like the one last week,
- and you had work. - I can take work off.
I want to be there, Val, I'm trying here.
It's fine, we're fine.
- Yeah? - Mm-hm.
Everything is where it's supposed to be.
Okay, good.
Besides, this is what I really need you for.
- Okay. - Mm-hm.
Somebody has to pick me up off the floor.
But that means I only have to be there for the end.
Yeah, I'll pick you, I'll pick you up.
I'll sign us in.
- Go ahead. - No, go ahead.
Oh, thanks.
Are you new here?
When are you due?
Um, due.
Wow, uh...
- Namaste. - No, I'm just, um,
I'm here for a friend.
Do I... do I look pregnant to you?
You...
Oh my God.
I am so sorry.
I... I am.
I'm due in September.
Oh, holy shit, thank God.
- Jenny. - Tom.
Nice to meet you.
Make a new friend?
Just another mom.
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Mamaste Breathing.
Mamaste.
Now, mommies, I want you to rest
your right hand on your bumps and close your eyes.
This is about connecting with the life inside you.
Think about baby inside and breathe.
Sharing air.
One body.
Two beings.
Are you feeling nauseous?
No, I'm fine.
I'm just feeling a little dizzy from class.
It's nothing.
Well, I know how you feel.
Downward Facing Dad really got me today.
- What can I get ya? - A latte.
- Are you sure? - The doctor said
that 200 milligrams of caffeine per day is fine.
Okay, this is why I need to be at the appointments.
Tom's wife?
Or Valerie.
I like that better.
It rolls off the tongue.
- Sit. - Oh, what ab... is he?
Oh, he's not pregnant,
Come on, sit down.
Okay.
So, whose wife are you?
It's complicated.
I'm sorry, that was...
It's none of my business.
It's no worries.
I've made my peace.
Jenny.
Pleased to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.
Oh, boy.
Backs, am I right?
I know.
That's funny.
You remember Jenny from class?
- The funny one. - How could I forget?
Nearly gave me a heart attack.
I took your chair, I hope you don't mind.
Oh, no, no.
Actually, I have a couple more hours
of work to do today,
so can I meet you back at our place?
- I... I can just... No, no.
You two stay, get to know each other.
This is great, I'll see you again at class.
- Mamaste. - Mamaste.
- Bye. - Bye.
So, boy or girl?
I have a farmhouse in the country.
I've lived there my whole life.
- Really? - Yeah.
What about you? What's... what's your story?
Tom and I moved here about six months ago
from Chicago.
You can take it if you need to.
It's nothing.
So, um, yeah, Chicago.
What's your job here?
Well, I was a counselor.
I had a private practice in Chicago.
But this pregnancy has been so tough,
I had to take a leave of absence,
and that has turned into...
I'm just pregnant now.
There are worse things to be.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I just have to carry around a puke bag now.
Gosh.
Um, what do you do for a living?
I am a nurse in a pediatrician's office.
I've been there about five years now.
I need someone like you around.
Save me from driving myself crazy
with late night internet searches.
You can call any time.
You want to crack it open?
The crib, should we put it together?
Oh, no, not tonight.
I'm exhausted.
I am really craving some mango though.
Is that true?
You want mango?
Hm? Okay.
'Cause you can have ice cream
or cheeseburgers or donuts,
but if that's what you want,
that's what you get.
Can I get some ice cream too?
You got it.
- Oh, Moose Tracks! - Okay!
Ow.
Stop.
Ow.
Tom!
Tom, wake up!
Tom, please, please!
Tom! Tom, wake up!
- I just gotta... - Tom.
It's 7:00 in the morning, what are you doing?
Babe, did I wake you?
I... I wanted to get this done before you got up,
but it's not easy.
I don't like it.
Put it back.
What?
No, this needs to be done.
I should have done it weeks ago.
I just need to, uh...
I got it.
Yeah.
I just gotta figure out why I don't have...
What are you looking forward to the most?
Oh my God.
Having my body back.
More than one cup of coffee a day.
Pants without the elastic in them.
Never vomiting again.
Oh, yeah.
For me, it's reading him stories in bed at night.
Like Goodnight Moon and Dr. Seuss.
And Harry Potter.
"Mr. Potter..."
Yeah, of course.
You know, I'm scared too.
I am.
I'm worried that I'm not gonna be able
to do this all by myself.
You're gonna do great.
And you won't be alone.
- Really? - You mean that?
Yeah!
Mommy club.
We gotta keep each other sane
when the babies don't stop crying.
Yeah.
Mommy club.
I love that.
Um, I'm gonna step out.
I gotta get some air.
