Me: aw man i don't wanna be induced at week 38, that seems too soon! ...maybe if i'm lucky i can make it to week 39–

My doctors, today: good news! because of Reasons, you'll have to be induced at week 37

#it's like i planted carrots and i've done a pretty good job watering and fertilizing them #and a few days before i'm supposed to harvest them i learn that 1. they're actually parsnips not carrots #and 2. i have to harvest them tomorrow or they might rot #like... it isn't *that* different from what i was expecting #and what differences there are don't actually matter in the end anyway #but it's still disappointing somehow #and i have to do it way earlier than i thought i would #anyway in about five days i'll be a mother #thanks to my shitty traitorous body #at least babby is looking healthy #he just smol #and a libra now for sure #not that that really matters #but. i had Expectations for this birth for ~8 months #and having them whipped out from under me at the 11th hour has been. Challenging. #good thing my spouse is fucking awesome #and let's face it: very soon now i'll be far too busy freaking out over my new responsibilities as a parent to even remember any of this #at least i'll be able to have sushi and deli meat and multiple coffees and coke again #coca-cola i mean. not... not the other coke #and the gestational diabetes should be over! so yay cake and cookies and ice cream and candy #(i promise to eat healthy and exercise too; just let me have this okay) #can't wait to do this all over again like 2 or 3 years from now!!!!!!!! #hgbggfhbgghhgbfhh
