• Countdown to kid

  “So you want me to get that kid out of ya?” my doctor asked.

  “Uh, hell yes!” I replied, thinking he was joking.

  “We have an open spot for induction tomorrow at 6am. Be at the hospital then.” He clicked his pen closed and walked out of the room. I sputtered and stared as he closed the door.  I attempted to collect my belongings as quickly as possible and chased him into his office.

  “Wait, seriously?!”

  “Yes. Your cervix has ripened, all you have to do now is come in tomorrow, we’ll start the labor and you’ll be a mother of three by noon. “

  “And the risks involved with inducing labor?”

  “If I thought it was dangerous, I wouldn’t be recommending it. I’ll see you in the morning.”

   

   

   

   

  Now I’m sitting in my chair staring at the wall. The other times when I was about to have a kid, it just kinda.. happened.  There wasn’t any planning, it was just… time. Now.

  But now, I get to pick when I’m comfortable doing so.

  Sweet! If only I could pick the sort of air freshener they  put in my car after it’s detailed. Life would be complete.

   

   See you when I’m a mother of three!
