ultrasound #2

according to the doctor, baby looks very, very healthy....almost too healthy. like have you seen Rosemary's Baby? oh, wait, that was the anti-Christ.... but what if the baby was like a superbaby and got really smart and learned how to read like in the first week of its life and then ended up feeling superior to its parents in every way and so had us put in a "home" even though we're in our 20s.... weird. so, good news. b is fine. the doctor commended her on not gaining weight. i guess fat moms=fat babies and fat babies=difficult delivery. he pulled out a story about how native americans used to have pregnant women work harder in the field than most of the other people so they wouldn't die in childbirth. (the baby would be smaller and easier to push through the birth canal.) he seemed to suggest the idea that pregnant women should eat whatever, gain whatever was a bad idea and more cultural than based on real medical info. like if mom goes crazy and eats bon-bons while watching TV during pregnancy it will negatively impact her. the blessing is that b isn't like that anyway. whoa... tired from all this typing.... pass the bon-bons.
