flying without a net

Today the stitch came out -- and the baby stayed in.

I was expecting it to be fairly painful, as did my doctor. In went the speculum, she found the knot and began preparing me for the "snip and yank." Getting to the snip part hurt a bit and as I was bracing for the yank, she cut the stitch and it came flying out -- literally. It looked a bit like a coffee stirrer. Strange.

So now we wait. I have another appointment in a week to see how things are going. I'm a huge fan of irony and will be amused if after all our attempts to keep this baby in, he won't come out. As far as I'm concerned he can stay as long as he wants.
