The phone rings.
"Let the machine get it", Katherine says, wearily.
"Hello", the message begins.
"This is Providence St. Vincent Hospital. We're just calling to remind you that you have an appointment to come in for C-Section tomorrow morning, at 7am. Don't forget." says the cheery voice on the other end of line, sounding like a dental tech reminding her about dropping by to get her teeth cleaned.
"You must be joking", says Katherine. "Right, sure. I almost forgot. I almost forgot that I have a giant baby inside of me, that I have to lean back to walk down stairs, that I haven't seen my feet in two months."
"Thank goodness for that call. I'm sure glad I didn't forget that I have been planning, scheming, and organizing the lives of my entire extended family for weeks, around this date. Nope, sure glad it didn't slip my mind."
"Thanks for the call."
