The long and winding road
I went today to the obgyn clinic with the birthmother. Quite an experience. We were hoping to determine the sex of the baby, but it’s still too soon.
You know what I’ve learned in life? If you go about designing your own life, having a preset construct of what you want, you’ll fall short of what you need. Today, aside from the birthmother and her grown daughter, I was introduced to the the grandmother – so there I was sitting with three generations of beautiful women who were all cool in a multigenerational way and I was thinking to myself “oh the places I will go, the people I will meet, what a joyous life.”
While we were waiting to go down for routine bloodwork, the daughter decided to leave with the grandmother to go holiday shopping. She said, “Bye, Baby Mama” as the elevator doors were closing.
You know all those times where you feel like you were plucked from some alien planet and deposited on another one? This wasn’t one of those times. I feel like all of this wonder is being weaved into this incredible life I have and I’ll be damn if I don’t feel like the luckiest woman on this planet.
