The Countdown To 1 Has Begun!

Up early hitting this gym and all I can think about is how your internet Nephboo turns one Saturday.

If you’ve been here awhile you’ve watched my journey, and triumph through a hard pregnancy. I blamed it on Ralph and this child being due on Halloween. After hearing so many times “The Devil Is A Lie!” - the doctors said “Nah. Not Quatro. This baby is huge. We have to induce. You have no choice. We’ll most likely end up doing a C- section. Come in Friday the 23rd so we can do your covid test, get you all setup so that you can come back Sunday the 25th to get induced so that you can have him Monday the 26th.”

I could only think about 4 things:

1. Complaining to my dad about how big this baby was and being miserable and his response being “Well when you marry a 6’11 monster and procreate what do you have? A monster.”

2. A C-section? So you want to cut me open?! No stretch marks. No cellulite, but you want to give me a scar? A painful one?

3. My Grandma said being induced hurts 100 times worse than going into labor naturally.

4. Death walks around you seven times when giving birth.

So even though my doctor said if I try to birth my baby and not just get a c section - then he could get stuck. It could cause paralysis and I could die. The understanding was that we could try and have that room ready just in case.

Y’all I went in for that Covid test Friday the 23rd at 7:30 A.M.
Talking to @she_so_chelle by 9:30 A.M.
Left River Oaks and drove myself to the hospital all the way in Sugar Land to find out that I was in full blown labor. He was here at 7:09. No C-section. He didn’t get stuck. He wasn’t paralyzed. Oh and I’m alive.

Trust your body, and trust that God Is Good… All the time.
