Saturday morning phone call   /   Sep 19 @ 10:13 pm

S: What’s up?

L: I am catching up on clipping coupons. I’ve fallen behind because I’m always tired.

S: Hm I thought it would be faster now since you are carrying around an extra set of hands.

S: A few nights ago I watched this show on TLC called I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant. All these women going about their business, then suddenly, in week 35, Oh-worst-pain-ever! I-can’t-stand-up! from going into labor. One woman went to the bathroom thinking she had to go real bad, and ended up delivering her baby into the toilet. Head first.

L: I have to watch this!

S: Definitely. Anyway, I wanted to tell you also because it reminded me of you.

L: (LOL)

S: All the kids that were born turned out healthy, even though the mothers were drinking and smoking and lifting heavy objects, like this one lady who worked in the back of a grocery store. Which tells you, a ton of kids probably turn out messed up because their moms didn’t prepare for pregnancy. But that’d never be a TV show.

L: I had my doctor’s visit on Thursday. Ran some tests, gave me prenatal vitamins. Will find out more in a few days.

S: Vitamins? That’s it?

L: They’re $40 for a 30-day supply.

S: Dang, that’s more than a dollar a day!

L: Eh, my iPhone costs more than that. And isn’t my baby supposed to be worth more to me?

S: What are you talking about? Your iPhone is your baby.

L: We are going to IKEA soon. They have $1 meatballs today.
