Exhausted by days of demanding labor, I meekly return to the hospital I marched out of several days before, insisting, "Not yet, not yet!" As if it is mine alone, I am brought to the same bed in the same room where three years earlier, almost to the day, my body strained to bring forth my first child. Four hours later I have barely enough strength to murmur, "I am so tired," knowing I have said it before, more than several times. How many times did I think it, say it, feel it during the following five hours, until finally, two tiny translucent miniature mes are born...identical twins. Nurses cheering, doctors shouting with surprise, and all I can think of is, "There I go repeating myself again."
