funny how things happen

so, i've made the joke several times about my baby factory being closed. as in CLOSED. as in i told them to just pop it all out and give it to someone that needed one since mine obviously worked so well and surely someone must want one...

my factory was closed 7 years ago while they were fishing for a second spawn. like a bogo sale: two procedures for the price of one. if they could have thrown in a tummy tuck and a little lipo at the same time it would have been even better. but i joked with my doctor at the time that he'd better do a damn good job or else he'd be raising the next one...he assured me that he did TWO LASER CUTS on each side so NOTHING was getting through. he was actually a really great doctor...delivered both my spawns. had a great sense of humor, even about things like that. and not only was he a great doctor, he was already a great dad. with FIVE kids of his own. you know...what's one more?

there's a point...i promise.

well, there's been times over the years where i've had a few panic attacks and wondered JUST HOW GOOD OF A JOB DID HE DO? like the time a year or so ago where i was approximately 56 days late, had peed on around 98748 sticks (or maybe just two), and had even gotten an ultra sound JUST TO MAKE SURE. or this year where i just broke a run of 15 days late (technically it's still thursday by three minutes, so i'm still allowed to cross the TMI line).

to put it simply, even though i've been assured and reassured and KNOW it won't happen, i've still had moments wondering...will he have to make good on that deal and raise another kid?

well...turns out...

YES.

just not mine.

that was fun. freak out a little? ha ha ha ha ha...sick and twisted sense of humor.

talked to my mum last night for a bit and the topic came up...turns out over the years my old doc HAS adopted several kids. two siblings a bit ago, and currently is in the process of adopting brand new twins (or at least they took one home for a bit...may just be temporary foster or an adoption...not sure yet).

how cool is that? i mean...if i'm counting right, that puts him up to...what...5+2+2...WAY MORE THAN I COULD HANDLE....which was why the factory was closed...but...i guess he WOULD have followed through...

people like that are just...AWE.SOME. seriously, can we have a few more like that? i know a BUNCH i would be willing to boot off the island so they could be replaced by GOOD people like this! let's vote, shall we?

just to clarify: great doctor. baby factory securely closed. no longer in limbo wondering on ANY points. and NINE. N.I.N.E. that's a LOT of diapers and patience.
