marydellI've been sick with some kind of food-poisony thing for a couple of days. In fact I was so sick that yesterday I just slept with the cat on top of me (when I wasn't, ahem, more directly engaging with the illness), and today I just lay on the couch watching realtime TV, since the tivo'd stuff is usually watched with my husband, and I didn't have the brain power to absorb anything like "John Adams" anyway.
Discovery Health is one of my favorite channels - and I see they have a show called The Baby Lab. As an infertile chick, I'm interested in ye olde reproductive technology (although I do not partake, being on the adoption track myself). So I look at the info thingy for the show and it says "an in vitro fertilization is unsuccessful, a couple suffers from miscarriage, a failed vasectomy reversal." Um, whee? Who writes these things?
Of course I ended up watching most of the damn thing anyway. End tally: 3 happy couples with babies, 2 devastated couples whose crushing disappointments were recorded on camera for all to see. HOWL.
