G5; maybe we should have waited 6-8 months?

It that real? That can’t be real.

Sadly enough, it's real.

I was really hoping that wasn't real.

I was really hoping that wasn't real.

Off topic but...

Way back when, I went to visit a friend who lived in Orange County, California. Not knowing the lay of the land and being a poor student, I decided to take the bus from LA to Orange County. When I got there, my friend said it'd be a while before he could pick me up, so I sat down and waited in the terminal.

I overheard the conversation between a very young pregnant woman and some elderly woman, who had just met in the terminal.

Elderly woman: Who are you waiting for?
Young & pregnant: I waiting for my boyfriend who just got out of jail.
Elderly woman: Yes me too. Just out of jail today. How far are you along?
Young & pregnant: 6 months.
Elderly woman: Is this your first?
Young & pregnant: No, my second. My first one was a really hard delivery. I heard that smoking makes the baby smaller though so I've been smoking all through this pregnancy so the delivery will be easier.
Elderly woman: Yeah, that makes sense.
