Summary
I wanted to be this baby’s mother more than anything I’d ever wanted in the world. “The honest answer is 55%.”Apparently I wanted a baby a teensy-weensy bit more than I didn’t want a baby. But I didn’t know what to make of the puzzle pieces of other women’s lives. Now, five years after telling my therapist that I was 55% certain I wanted a baby, I lay in Rob’s arms as he whispered: “Remember what the doctor said?” I shook my head. I didn’t know.
