Hope Jennifer and baby are doing well! :)
She shouldn’t refer to the baby as a “parasite”.
I prefer to think of them as “Future Sidekicks”.
Still, congratulations to her!
Thanks, Heidi, Michael, and Sphinx.
Sphinx, though — the fetus is in my body, living off its resources. Biologically speaking, it is a parasite. I use the word affectionately, and I really don’t think it’s appropriate for you to tell me what I should or should not call my future baby.
