even my seven year old understands evidence-based care...

My cousin just gave birth to her second baby.  Jackson had some questions this morning about pregnancy.  He wanted to know how the belly got that big.  Did it just happen one day while the mama was sleeping?  I told him about nine months of gestation, how the baby grows just a little each day. 

Kat: "One day, the baby decides he or she is all done inside and begins labor."

Jackson: "How does the baby decide it's time?"

Kat: "We don't really understand it.  Doctors have been trying to figure it out for years."

Jackson: "Well, maybe they should just leave that to the scientists to figure out."
