I'm declaring this National Cervix Day
Three years ago today, a doctor stuck a needle in my back, sewed up my cervix, ordered me to bed for four months and told me all we could do was hope that my pregnancy proceded to a viable point. I was scared and nervous and hopeful.
Three years later, I have not one, but two successful cerclage babies. Thanks doc!
It's a weird anniversary to celebrate, but easy to remember because it all went down on Oct. 1. I'm still not sure what the appropriate gift is for an internal organ, however. Do I trot it out for dinner? Send it an e-card? Buy it an Xbox 360?
For all the times I have decried its competency and publicly belittled it, I must apologize. Today I celebrate the cervix! Perhaps declaring it National Cervix Day might be going a little too far, but I kind of like the idea. I know there are readers out there who have the same love/hate relationship with their own cervixes (cervixii?) and might like an excuse to celebrate, so feel free to join me.
Today, cervix, it is all about you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

You're original I'll give you that!
Glad your cervix cooperated allowing you your two bee-utiful cherubs. =)
Happy cervix day! Maybe if I celebrate my cervix, it will be nice for a couple more months:)
I wish I could give my cervix something to cooperate with. BUT, I am with you that I'm very grateful that it managed at least the first time through. We shall see what the future holds.
Yay for Amy's cervix!!gmh
ignore the last three letters of my post...those were part of the blogger secret code and they got moved around. No worries, it's not supposed to mean anything!
