The Mommy Test

As the days roll by, no wait sprint by, and as I watch my stomach reach proportions I thought unattainable, I am struck by the fear that someone will find me out. Some passerby will say, "Oh I see your pregnant. But have you passed the mommy test?" Seriously, I cannot believe there isn't a skill test for something of this magnitude. A diaper changing, baby holding, food preparing, patience bearing Mommy test. Because while I love kids, I'm scared of infants. They're, well, they're floppy and what if I feel as terribly awkward holding my own as I do other people's?
