Pregnancy and Grapefruit    [ Rants ]

Jessica went for her doctor's appointment yesterday, all looks well and she's already dilated to 1cm!   The doctor said that she looked good for 36 weeks, so we'll have to get our delivery bag (snacks, clothes, pillows, etc.) packed soon.

However, this is causing some issues with breakfast in the morning.   My dear lovely wife, despite graduating with a math degree and having taught math at the high school level, still retains a deep fundamental distrust of geometry.   This wasn't as much of an issue before she was pregnant, but some combination of this geometric disaffection and pregnancy hormones have rendered her unable to cut a grapefruit cleanly in half.

The last two attempts have been the worst - both times, we've ended up not with two halves, but with a fourth and three-fourths, or a third and two-thirds.   I've tried to cut the grapefruit myself, but she persists in her stubbornness and so someone ends up with the scalped grapefruit and the other with the scalp in the morning.

It's cute, really, but I hope that this can return to normal once we have the kid. :)
