It's not a competition

Chip and I paid a visit to the doctor on Monday, and after the ultrasound Dr. Simckes told us that Tro is currently weighing in at seven pounds, nine ounces. I know you can usually give or take a pound, but I will admit it is nice to at least have an estimated weight. I am, of course, alarmed that the doctor didn't respond when I asked if the baby's head was big, but I guess there's not much I can do about that now. It's not like I haven't noticed that Chip and I both have huge melons.

On the way home, I called Chip so we could recap the doctor's visit.

Me: So, we're at seven pounds, nine ounces. That certainly sounds manageable.
Chip: Yeah, not bad. Wait. How big was Brennan?
Me: Um, I'm not sure. Just under nine pounds, I think.
Chip: Well, I'm sure we can do better than nine pounds.
