Mike here.

Second post today, but you know.

So Kate was pretty incensed at Dr. Caron last week for suggesting she was vastly overweight or something--nine pounds gained in a month kind of surprised the frail-looking medicine woman. I noticed Katie's dismay immediately, so being the gallant kind of guy that I am, stepped up to her defense and felt her biceps. Taut as ever. That girl's gaining some muskles, I can tell you that.

So Kate mentioned this to the doc, who also examined her womb and didn't find a large amount of fat, so she backtracked somewhat from her initial disapproval. That moment seems to have been the tipping point for my little bengal, in terms of her overall opinion of Dr. Caron's judgment. Kate's now decided for a midwife.

A few minutes ago--we've been sitting on the couch together as I wait for a phone interview with a prospective employer--I took to joking with her about it again. I figure we can track just how buff this girl gets.

Too bad we didn't take a baseline measurement a few months ago, but for the record: Katie's right bicep, as of May 19, 2009, is 12.25" around.

Yah baby!
