Blood

One thing we're considering is saving the baby's umbilical cord blood. We want to give her every possible opportunity to play disgusting practical jokes on Halloween.

There are medical benefits, too, which I have researched mainly by watching an episode of Boston Legal in which a husband sues his ex-wife to give him their child's cord blood (he's sick and could be saved by it). She won't do it, and the lawyer correctly deduces that it's because the child isn't actually his. Shocker! But don't fear, because Denny and Alan still smoke cigars and break the fourth wall at the end of the episode.

(If you're like, "Ha, that's funny," then you watch too much T.V.)

But anyway, we'll do some more serious research before deciding. It's probably something we should be objective about, but is that even possible? The marketers have us right where they want us. "If there was a chance that you could save your child's life, would you?" Um, hmm.

In other news, I have a new name for the child, as yet undiscussed with Julie and therefore unvetoed: Batgirl.
