playing God

I just had the strangest experience.

I just got a letter in the mail telling me I will have a baby on July 8.

For all that people joke about wishing God would just send a letter saying what's going to happen, I just got that letter. Not from God, from the hospital, but still.

And for all that the uncertainty and anxiety that accompanies pregnancy, this much I can say for sure: unless he makes up his own mind (which could always happen), I know what day I will have a baby.

That, my friends, is odd.

I don't get it. But you can tell me all about it over coffee in the morning :)

Emily, I will keep the letter for his baby book. That's a good idea. And I'm going to post about nursing in the next few days, I think. Thanks for asking.
