I have never liked the sound of a ticking clock. If the truth were known, I HATE repetitive noises, and a ticking clock in a quiet room will drive me straight up a wall. It ranks right up there with someone clicking a pen over and over again, or someone chewing ice.

But, I digress.

There is a clock that actually starts ticking the minute your child is born. You may have heard it a few times since you gave birth.
