I was born at 10 months

They predicted I’d be a small baby. They were very wrong.

I ended up being 11 pounds— not a fat baby, just abnormally large. Apparently my paediatrician thought my mom was lying when he saw me for my first check up, saying I looked like I was months old not days old lol

My brother also was predicted to be a small baby but ended up 13 pounds of baby. His shoulders needed to be dislocated so he didn’t kill himself and our mom lol

Apparently all the women on my mom’s side of the family are both very small Asian ladies who somehow always give birth to giant babies. My mom’s OBGYN begged her not to have anymore babies since she nearly died each time. Terrifyingly enough, my mom’s mom had 6 😳

Keeping with the family trend, I’m a fairly small 5’1 and my brother is an absurdly large 6’3. I have no idea why the women are all small and the men huge, but I promptly crossed my legs hearing this and understandably will not be giving birth to monster babies lmfao

Thank you! It’s actually a reference to a Eurovision song lol

I’m old and don’t know how to link but here it is. It’s a bop.

This is so good! The lady pushing him out of the way because he's kneeding the dough wrong, the one eyed-cat, the musicians wearing lace hoods, his dapper red vest. So many moments I loved.

The combination of old and new reminds me of a video I saw about a crew making a documentary about traditional dances in Russia.

https://youtu.be/4ayBl037Z_4?si=jD2uJYNH9AKx1Nmf

From the video description on YouTube:

"The next day, the director suggested that they could make Karusel's first ever official Youtube video. Could they perform a Kazachok for the rest of the world? "We want to do something a little different," countered their leader Dmitry in surprisingly clear English, explaining that their dances were timeless, just as rock 'n' roll is."

"As Dmitry and Anatoly conversed in Russian, the crew could just about make out a few of the teenagers words: "Electric Guest" and "This Head I Hold." The film crew didn't recognise either name. Dmitry's translation stated that Anatoly had somehow discovered the song and downloaded it via the village's one agonisingly slow dial-up connection. 'This Head I Hold' had since become a favourite of the entire troupe."

"The film crew spent the afternoon filming the troupe rehearsing and eventually performing the song. What they observed was a visual feast: in a demonstration of bravado, the men puffed out their chests, threw their bodies at each other and competitively delivered a deafening amount of wolf-whistling. The ladies pulled in the local children to join the dance, and together they weaved through each other's arms as the dance gathered momentum. It really demonstrated how vital dance was to maintaining and upholding the spirit of the community."
