everything is normal, ultrasound at this late stage could be very off.

发帖数: 6791 | 8 Thank you, Lord, for cancer, flu,
For athlete’s foot and typhus too.
Your wondrous world with birth defects,
And ticks and strokes is so complex.
I marvel at your pedophiles,
And mumps sure does elicit smiles.
Your greatest feat -- the tornadoes
Are right up there with lava flows.
I simply love my varicose veins,
And thank you for the hurricanes.
The miracle of gum disease
Goes hand-in-hand with cavities.
My urinary incontinence
Compliments my flatulence.
Chickenpox is a grand thing,
As is, I f-... 阅读全帖 |
