## Caption

It’s like your body’s check engine light 💡 suddenly starts flashing at the worst possible moment.

This was right after Dario was born. The room was hot, the medical talk started, and my only job was to find a chair before I redesigned the floor.

Joshua was 100% focused on the details. I was 100% focused on not becoming the third patient.

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose body just hits the eject button in these situations? 🫠
