Blankety-blank doctors...

Dear son,

We didn't get a chance to see you today, even though your mother and I went to the doctors' office right on schedule. It seems the guy we were going to see had a delivery to make, as in a baby being born, so he was out of the office. Now we have to go back on Wednesday. The good news is we confirmed that your mother's glucose levels were well within normal parameters. This means little risk of her developing gestational diabetes, and that's good. The bad news is when fate steps in to frustrate your mother with things beyond her control, she's can be a bear to live with. That, combined with the stress everybody feels during the holidays, plus this being her first pregnancy equals hoooo boy!

Love,
Dad
