Tomorrow

January 31, 2010

Saturday we went in for another NST, and before we left the hospital our doctor had us scheduled for a cesaerian birth on Monday (yes, that would be the same Monday that is also tomorrow).

I haven’t been able to buy many baby things yet. I’m still struggling to believe that we’ll need them, though it’s a hopeful struggle. N bought a bag of diapers last week, and I still find myself staring at them, thinking, “We have diapers. We may need diapers.”

And we may need them soon, because early tomorrow morning Dot will be born. It’s amazing and mind-boggling and surreal, and it’s hard for me to pray these days, but I can’t stop putting this out there for God or the Universe or for any kindly-disposed passing glimmer of luck or magic: Please, please, please let her be healthy and safe.
