TRIGGER WARNING On May 3, 2017 - I discovered that I was 'spotting' after using the restroom. I immediately called a close friend/colleague of mine and told her what just happened. She instructed me to go the Emergency Room (ER) to make sure that I was alright. Let me restate that in another way, to make sure that my baby was alright. I immediately got dressed and began calling 'the father of our child' and told him what was going on and that I was on my way to the ER. (Pause) - after what felt like agonizing moments of utter silence, he told me that he'd meet me at the hospital as soon as he was done with his presentation. My response was simply 'okay'. I had to remain calm until everything was checked out and I could be sent on my 'merry way'. *SN: Why do people even say such a thing as 'Merry Way'? I mean where did that term even come from; However, I digress.
