Three? Four? Uh…

Posted: November 18, 2007 at 12:52 pm

BigBrother’s birthday party ends at five o’clock this evening. And as such, I am then “free” to give birth. (I mean, the baby should adhere to my schedule, right?) And with that knowledge is confusion reigning over me…

I’m a mother. To how many? As of this moment, one, for certain, that can’t be disputed. He’s currently laying on my feet, playing with trains. One more is kicking me from the insides. But some say I’m not really his mother yet because I haven’t done anything for him… other than love and nurture him for 38 weeks (today) and go through a lot of medical intervention to KEEP him loved and safe in my womb since it’s been a complicated pregnancy. And then there’s our angel baby. Does she count? And the greatly disputed Munchkin.

I’m just… confused. Today. Tomorrow.

I need more cake.
