Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make

And all the promises we chose to break

We were busy making big mistakes, yesterday

"Uh, okay," I said, quickly putting my book down and getting off the bed and trying not to panic. We had prepared for this, I reminded myself. People had babies all the time, but if that was the case, why was I so scared?

It may have something to do with the bad idea I had last night to spend awhile looking up birth videos on the web. I got through half of one before I had to turn it off.
