Next Time, I'll Ask For a Zipper

"So, are you done?" a parent from my daughter's school asked me before I had my C-section.

"I don't know," I said. Which was true. I didn't know. I still don't. And I'm tired of answering that question.

"Well," he grinned, "how 'bout you let 'em install a zipper so next time you can just deliver the baby yourself?"

Good idea, that. It would save me some outrageous medical bills. Last time I checked it was upwards of $65,000. That includes the babies & their NICU costs. Thankfully, we have good insurance.

But still. A zipper would be nice.
