above average

its nine in the morning, THE WIFE is feeling a little under the weather and i am home away from work... we just put up this curtain in junior's room, and i must say, the bunny is obscence... do they actaully do this for children's bedroom? well-done IKEA (the bunny on the left has a tail, the bunny on the right has a black circle on his you know what should be)

we were at the docs last thus, i lost count how many visit this is... come to think of it, i lost count how far into it we are..... but i do know that we have our appointments on thusdays, once a month... and next visit onwards, it would be every other thusdays, later it will be every thursday till junior pops.......

ANYWAYZ.... we were at the docs last thusday... they made THE WIFE took her weighht twice... sorta to comfirm her weight... it wasnt long before we were urshered into the docs office....

Doc: hows eveything? i see your weight has increased slightly, thats good compared to the big jump the last visit... you off the milk?
THE WIFE: yah, been watching my diet
me:mmmmmm
Doc: lets have a look see at the baby, see if we can snap a picture today... hmmmm... his arms are blocking his face... he weights about 1.45 kilos, the average is 1.2, so he is above average.... (wounderful machine the docs have)
me: so hes turning to be a big boy?
Doc: yah, but we dont want him to be too big, might have problem during birth... we will aim for a natural birth but if it cant be help, we will have to do a caesarean..
me:mmmm
Doc: looks like we cant take any pictures today, maybe we will try again in two weeks time.
we were back at his desk...
Doc: before you go, let me touch on the ambilical cord blood.... the blood is good, if you dont harvest it, they would throw it away..... it can be used for the baby himself, his siblings even his parents... give it some thought, i have some brochures outside, i think it cost about 800 for the whole procedure and then later 250 every year... you have to decide before the due date..
THE WIFE: we went to the baby class, they told us it was about 1200..
DOC: you get the brochure outside, call up this lady and say that you are my patient, can have discount
me:hmmmmmmmmmm

a doc with connections... how handy...
