Life is good in the womb ...

We just got back from another ultrasonic womb inspection and I am happy to report that Junior is doing well and is bigger than expected :). For anyone who knows me, why would that surprise you :). Listening to the loud thumping that is Junior's beating heart, I could not but reflect upon the life that Junior is currently leading. Intravenous feeding, large living room, well insulated walls - whats not to like :).

The Mrs on the other hand is not happy. She had to imbibe 10 ounces of some sickeningly sweet dextrose so that she can be tested for gestational diabetes (GD). If a mom-to-be is diagnosed with GD, the baby is at high risk for Type 2 diabetes early in its childhood if the mother is not treated for GD. The Mrs has excellent health and so we are not worried.

Life is indeed great in the womb. Why would anyone ever want to come out? Well, if you don't know what's outside, curiosity gets the better of you and then it's too late.
