Kusukela kwazalwa indodakazi yami encane, ngibe nalomuzwa oshayayo ngemuva kwekhanda lami: ingabe kufanele ngibe nomntwana oyedwa?
Ngenxa yezizathu ezingaba ngu-397 okungafanele ngizembule, mina nomyeni wami sanquma ukuthi umkhaya wethu wawuphelele nezingane ezimbili, nokho kwakusadingeka ngizibuze ngesinqumo sethu masonto onke, ngezinye izikhathi nsuku zonke.
Ngokusobala, ngenqaba ukuvumela noma ubani ukuba akhiphe noma iyiphi into yangaphandle esithweni sami sangasese ngaphandle kwesithembiso sekhefu lokuyoteta lezinyanga ezintathu.
Bengizingela imbiza ye-off-brand macaroni kanye noshizi ngenkathi izingane zami zikhalazela i-pizza (isizathu #43), nokho isikhangiso se-Pampers diaper sasikhanya kumaqanda ami. Bengihlebela umyeni wami ukuthi kungani Ngikhona njalo lowo okumele aphuthume kulayini ngo-7 ekuseni. ukubhalisela amakilasi e-gymnastics yasenkulisa njengoba ayenjalo Hamilton amathikithi (isizathu #219), kodwa njalo lapho umngane ememezela ukuthi banengane yesithathu, ngangivutha umona. Uzobona isipredishithi esingenalutho, esinemibala enemibala ebonisa izindlela ezihlukene okufanele sibhekane nazo zokudluliselwa kanye nokuyeka esikoleni ezikoleni ezimbili ezahlukene (isizathu #396), kodwa nokho ukubona kowesifazane encelisa ingane yakhe esanda kuzalwa Ezalelwe ebhentshini lasepaki amadolo ami axega. Ngingacabanga ukuthi sizolidinga kanjani ifulethi elisha (isizathu #3) kanye nemoto entsha (isizathu #2), mhlawumbe ngisho neveni elincane (isizathu #1) - uma sinengane yesithathu, noma kunjalo, benginakho lokho kudonsa. ngizizwa enhliziyweni ukuthi kufanele.
Ngezinye izinsuku, isifiso sami sokuthola omunye umntwana sasinamandla kangangokuthi ngangithi phansi ngiphakamise isibhakela, "SINGAKWENZA LOKHU!"
Esiphithiphithini sokumpompa isibhakela kanye ne- monologizing yangaphakathi, ngabona ukuthi wayeqonde lokho. Empeleni ngangikulungele ukwenza lokhu! Ngangikulungele ukuthola omunye umntwana!
Ngangikulungele ukuthola omunye umntwana. . . namuhla ebusuku!
Okwakufanele ngikwenze, uyazi, ukwazisa umyeni wami ngokushesha. Aw, sh*t, futhi ngicishe ngakhohlwa: kuzomele ngisuse i-IUD!
“F*ck,” ngizikhalela. Ngoba kulapho engifike khona. Angikaze ngibe nomntwana ngoba umcabango wokwenza imizamo yokuhlela i-aphoyintimenti ne-OB yami engangqubuzani nanoma yimiphi imihlangano yomsebenzi, ukuxhumanisa lapho ngikwazi ukuboleka imoto yomyeni wami ngishayele. konke Indlela yedolobha ngokusemthethweni kwakuyinto yokugcina engangifuna ukubhekana nayo ohlwini lwami olude lwezinto okufanele ngizenze.
Ungakhathazeki ukuthi kufanele ngihlale ngingenaphenti, izinyawo zinyakaze ngenkathi udokotela efuna umshini omncane we-intrauterine. Cha cha cha. Ngokusobala, ngenqaba ukuvumela noma ubani ukuba akhiphe noma iyiphi into yangaphandle esithweni sami sangasese ngaphandle kwesithembiso sekhefu lokuyoteta lezinyanga ezintathu.
Khona-ke, kanjalo nje, ngabona, ngigodola futhi kunzima, ukuthi ngeke ngisaba nazo izingane.
Kufana nokuthi kufakwe i-genie engumlingo ezibanini zethu zangasese, esikhundleni sokunikeza izifiso, senqabe ukusivumela ukuba senze izinqumo ezibudedengu mayelana nokuguquguquka komndeni wethu.
Amahlombe ami aqinelwa umcabango wokuthi kufanele ngishaye ucingo oluxakile ukuze ngenze into engafanele ezongiphoqa ukuthi ngiye endaweni engafanele ngosuku olunzima ngesikhathi esinzima. Cabanga nje ukuthi umzimba wami ubuzosabela kanjani uma ngikhulelwa futhi kufanele, okungenani, ngihambe 15 ama-aphoyintimenti ezokwelapha angasebenzi ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye ezizayo. (Kodwa, kuhle, abesifazane baseMelika badinga ukuya kudokotela wabo kanye kuphela ngemva kokubeletha, nakuba mhlawumbe benohlobo oluthile lokukhathazeka noma ukucindezeleka kwangemva kokubeletha okungatholakali! Kodwa lokho kungolunye usuku! Noma njalo nje! Futhi cabanga ukuthi bengizokwenzenjani! phatha zonke ezinye izinto ezicasulayo eziza ngokuba nengane bese kuba ingane encane Khona-ke ingane eyenza ingqondo yami ingalali futhi ibe nesimo esinjalo se-amnesiac ye-nostalgic ezinganeni kangangokuthi empeleni ngihlela ukuba nenye!
Kwaba ukuphaphama okucacile ngangokunokwenzeka. Bengingakalungeli ukwenza kabusha wonke lo msebenzi. Hamba kuyo yonke le mizamo. Ngisashaya iwashi labazali, futhi angithandi ukusebenza isikhathi esengeziwe.
Ukubiza i-IUD yami ngokuthi uhlobo lokuvimbela inzalo kuwukubukelwa phansi. Akugcini nje ngokuvimba abesifazane abanjengami ukuthi babe nezingane njengamanje (kodwa kumemeza ngokungalali kakhulu kulokho futhi!), kodwa ilawula zonke lezi zingane ezicatshangelwayo zekusasa esiphupha ukuthi zizogcwaliseka. Kufana nokuthi kufakwe i-genie engumlingo ezibanini zethu zangasese, esikhundleni sokunikeza izifiso, senqabe ukusivumela ukuba senze izinqumo ezibudedengu mayelana nokuguquguquka komndeni wethu.
Ngakho-ke, bomama abathandekayo, uma uzibuza ukuthi kufanele yini ube nale ngane "yokugcina", qhubeka uyengeze ohlwini lwakho lwezinto ozozenza ukuze uthole i-aphoyintimenti yokususa i-IUD. Ngokukhethekile ehhovisi le-OB-GYN elinemizuzu engaphezu kwengama-25, imizuzu engama-45 yethrafikhi yehora lokushesha, kanye nelilodwa elitholakala kuphela ngoLwesibili, lapho imihlangano emithathu emile yamasonto onke isivele ihleliwe. UNGAKWENA LOKHU!
Noma, niyazi, awukwazi. Ngandlela thize.
