Five words you kind of don’t want to hear?

“On the academic job market”

I, too, am married to an academic. If you end up in Michigan, you and husband and Poo and Shaggy have friends.

I pray that it’s not Denton, Texas. We narrowly escaped that one.

I’m so sorry. You know I’ve been down this road. No one should be able to fuck with your plans this late in the game. It may only be a couple of days but it represents so much more.

Girl, you need a drink. Obviously you can’t have one (well, you probably could, but I’m guessing with all of that going on you won’t), so I will take the bullet for you and drink extra just for you tonight. I’ll be your designated drinker. So sorry you’re in such misery. It sucks. I would say hang in there but I’m sure you’re sick to death of hearing that.

The 11th of August is an AWESOME date though. I should know, it’s my birthday

I’m with everyone who says “run as fast as you can to ANOTHER doc!” You don’t happen to have Dr. T— ends in pin? I’ve heard of people who work with her calling her insane so I thought you might have her….I would not, not, not have her as my OB. Good luck!

I’m sorry, that sucks. Are there no other doctors in the practice who can do the c-section?

When I had to have my c-section, the date given to us was a day Aaron was under contract for a performance. So we had to call back and argue that we needed a different day because he wasn’t going to miss his first child being born.

We got the date switched with another doctor doing the surgery - turned out I loved her so much she’s now my regular GYN and I saw her for my second pregnancy.

I don’t think you’re silly at all! I was so freaked out about labor when I had my son because I knew that in reality, what happened would happen and I had no control! I totally understand why you’d be upset/sad about it. I was also wondering if there might be another doctor that can do it. Because really, that is a totally awesome date. Plus you don’t seem too attached to your doctor, so maybe you could find a better one?

No! I can’t celebrate my birthday knowing Henry is still torturing you from the inside! It just won’t be the same…

Hugs to you. Sorry this whole being a human incubator thing sucks balls sometimes.
