Purgatory is not half as exciting as wandering the desert for 40 years eating manna...waiting sucks, but looking at your newborn through the walls of an incubator is no fun either...don't worry, they all come out one way or the other at some point...Marit, Martijn (Dirk's friend) woman, pooped out her 5 kg 2nd after 10 days over-due without problems...I'm thinking of you all the time; good luck with 'puffen'!
I heard from a woman on the playground yesterday the story of the birth of her second. On the birthday of her first the second one started coming. "No no," she thought, "this would be so unfair to the first." But there's no stopping it once it's begun so they rushed to the hospital, labor began...and then it stopped cold. Back home.
TEN days later it was born. Be careful what you wish for.
Oh Wow! How exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, it's the OPPOSITE of exciting. And yet it's not boring, either. Well you're a Catholic, you understand the concept of Purgatory....
ReplyDeleteThis is bringing back some VIVID memories. So looking forward to meeting the new human...
