I used to believe that the neonate ward
in an hospital was a super-specialized
sort of store for babies . . . you went
to the hospital, the same way you went
to the butcher or bakery, and pointed
out the one you wanted; then, they sent
you home with your new kid. This belief
was reinforced by the fact that my mom
had a no-show pregnancy when I was 5.
We've got a picture of her at ~8 months,
in a bathin suit; and, all you'd say was
that she had a little beer belly.
