So I’m almost seven months along. I’m clearly pregnant. A baby is coming by the end of the year. Unlike the olden days when you could wrap your baby in a potato sack—now babies needs clothes with all sorts of crazy names like “onesies” and “sleepers” and “sleep sacs.” Everyone is all paranoid about SIDS and you want to stick your baby in a sleep sac? Really? Isn’t that what we do to kittens when we don’t want them?

I don’t even know where I might get an assortment of potato sacks if I felt like going that route.

These are all facts.

Here’s another fact.

I’ve never seen a newborn baby.

To me, newborn means something under a year old. Other than that. I’ve never seen a newborn human, never held a newborn anything, never touched a newborn. The closest I came was seeing kittens at 10 days just as their eyes started to open. However, I’m given to understand human babies are born with their eyes open so its not a fair comparison.
