When words are telling:
From yesterday's "Best of the Web Today" (James Taranto):
"A 13-year-old giant panda gave birth to a cub at San Diego Zoo, but a second baby died in the womb, officials said Wednesday."--Associated Press, Aug. 3
"A cancer-ravaged woman robbed of consciousness by a stroke has given birth after being kept on life support for three months to give her fetus extra time to develop."--Associated Press, Aug. 3

So a panda has a "baby" but a human has a "fetus"--fascinating! Thanks for posting such a stark exposure of the media's word games.
And it sounds like your own little fetus is quite a big girl now. Congratulations on your daughter's impressive accomplishments.
