In the pamphlet I read about IUDs a few years ago, they were touted as the second best thing to a hysterectomy: a decade of babylessness. False advertising? My due date is August 3rd. We were surprised; now we are happy. The day I officially found out I was pregnant, I walked home from the doc’s across Central Park next to Kevin Bacon for 5 minutes (including 2 stop lights). Just me, Claire, Kevin, and his 2 dogs. We were both on the phone. I felt slightly awkward detailing the gory ob/gyn orifice-probing details to my mom with him in earshot. Though it didn’t stop an impulse deep within urging me to break out in dance in front of one of the famous ‘80s dancers. No, unfortunately I did not indulge the impulse.
PS. Never say you will not have another child while living in NYC without knocking on wood first.
