Pregnancy Update: Week 24 October 10, 2003
Week number 24! As you can see in the picture below, Geralyn is doing well and looking good. Baby's prenatal beepin and bopin has become a normal part of life now, but it's still pretty cool. We are, of course, continueing to educate ourselves on the whole process.
For example, we watched a show the other night about deliveries in the very same hospital we plan on using, and let me assure you that when they say "Viewer discression is advised", they mean it. Delivering a baby is a graphic, messy affair. If I were ever to make a movie about it and needed some inexpensive but convincing special effects, I'd stock up on cherry Jell-O.
The show turned the cameras where they don't usually go, giving you clear views of not only normal deliveries, but cesarean ones as well. It was quite shocking. Not really disturbing and certainly not horrifying, given the end result, but still shocking. No amount of "What to Expect" books is going to prepare you or me when the time comes. But you know, the people on that show seemed to handle it just fine. I guess there's a little squirming bundle of good reasons why.
In other baby-related news, Matt Seeker (U. of Tulsa) sent me a note saying that he and wife Sue just had baby numero dos last week, and christened him Vincent Xavier Seeker. Nice! Their other 15-month old son Marty is getting into the whole big brother thing.
Are there any of my friends who aren't pregnant or newly minted parents? Seriously. Anyone?
