So last week arrive to prenatal class and we look around to see one of the fathers sitting by himself. No one is necessarily aknowledging this, but I'm sure most of us notice. The instructor begins by announcing that she will let him speak once she gets through her first bit of info. At this point (I know I was) we are all thinking "where is his wife? oh god, did something terrible happen?" I'm not sure I was evening listening to what the instructor was saying.
After what seemed like an hour, she addressed him and he spoke up to say "On Monday Kyla had our baby!" DOH!!!!!!!!! HOLD ON A SECOND????????? AREN'T WE ALL DUE IN JUNE?
Turns out she was 2 weeks further along than me. Which means she had her baby a month early. Good thing, the little guy was already 6pounds 9oz. The inspiring part was that everything went well and they had a fantastic delivery, healthy baby and mom.
But now the reality that we are in the zone when it could really happen anytime. We weren't really thinking about that. I think Bill began to understand my anxiety in wanting to get things done around here.
Even though June 29th is the date........it's really up to the baby to decide when it wants to join us.
Stay tuned. You never know what you'll read next here!
