A few hours later, I talked to “my cousin.”
We were on the phone for over two hours, locked in, and began the journey.
Her pregnancy was smooth. Minor hiccups, sure, but nothing dramatic. We had a lot of long convos and belly laughs.
Fast forward to labor day.
She texted me around 7:15 a.m.; contractions were picking up.
Nearly two weeks past her due date, but no worries. We roll with it.
