Week 38 of Pregnancy
I love how some sites are still comparing your baby to fruits and vegetables at this point. If they want to show you what your baby looks like,they should show you a fucking baby because that’s what your baby looks like right now – not an obscure melon or a root vegetable.

After all, nothing is worse that giving birth in a line at the bank or on the side of the freeway and not knowing what to do. Well, I guess there are worse things, but try telling yourself that when you’re pushing out a person in the back of a Ford Focus.
