Maybe it’s just me, but I sure hope that the word “baby” doesn’t become obsolete.  Just imagine…a husband getting home from work, and his wife running to meet him with the news, “Guess what, honey—we’re going to have a fetus!”




Will we be required to have fetus showers, buy fetus clothes, have a fetus brother or sister, or engage in fetus talk?  Perhaps, instead of asking a woman’s due date, we will need to correctly inquire, “When will your fetus meet us?”  Or think of singing, “Fe-tus face—you’ve got the cut-est lit-tle fe-tus face.”




It all sounds kind of babyish to me.
