Second Most Disturbing Thing I Have Ever Seen (to date)

So today was appointment #4.  Very boring, which is a good thing.  No ultrasound, but we did get to hear the heartbeat again.  The heartbeat is a lot faster than I expected, but completely normal.  Given the precision and rhythm of the beat, I'm no longer entirely sure it is my child.  But anyway, while waiting for the doctor I saw a lovely little chart of concentric circles.... which was fine until I realized what it was.  Ten centimeters.... holy hell!




I sort of don't believe ten centimeters is possible, but I REALLY don't want to find out. 

(most disturbing thing I have ever seen?  Easily 6th grade health class, where we had to watch the "Miracle of Life".  Our normal teacher was smarter than we gave her credit for, as she was conveniently absent the day this film was to be shown.  So this poor substitute teacher got to come in out of the blue and "supervise" while a bunch of twelve year old were subjected to the unedited "beauty" that is natural childbirth.  The sub just went to the back of the room and pretended to read a magazine, not even attempting to quiet our shrieks of shock and horror, so it was pretty much a free for all the whole time.  So right after the birth scene, a certain kid, let's just call him "Frankie P", went up to the VCR and hit the rewind button.  So we all had to witness a video of child birth, then immediately a video of child birth IN REVERSE.  Watching the doctor shove that baby into that poor lady, even if she was 10 centimeters, easily the worst thing I have ever seen).
