Not to mention a big relief.
It’s not like having a baby would be the worst thing in the world at this point. Oh wait, yes it would. For one thing, I’m not sure where in our apartment we’d have room to stow it. For another, aaaggghhhhhhh!
As always, my sweetie was incredibly supportive and helpful. Someday, I’d like to start a family with him. I’d just rather have a little more say in when that happens.
Afterward, we commemorated the news by watching our latest Netflik, “The Bad Seed.” That weird bit at the end, after the players take their bows, when the mother gleefully delivers a sound spanking to her Satan spawn? Was the creepiest part of the whole film.

For what it (my opinion) is worth, you’d make a great mother. I’d probably say that even if I hadn’t seen you interacting with kids (which just reinforced it).
But I’m glad you and the s.villain got the result you wanted!
Who needs to watch The O.C.?

You could just stash the kid in that back room you won’t show us.

Congratulations on non-motherhood, Aims! For now. You would make an excellent mom. I have testimonials from the experts.

Whew! But, man, should the day ever come, your kids will have the best (knitted) booties in Beantown!

Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments.
And Debbie — if you’re talking about those amazing mixtape and drum kit duds you embroider, I might consider getting knocked up just for that!
Maybe I’d better watch The Bad Seed again. : ) (Yeah, it was the 1956 version we saw. Creeeeepy!)
