FAT BABY gets to go to the doctor for his 1 year check-up. After stuffing him in a diaper and putting his husky outfit with the legs and arms rolled up since they make baby clothes so small. She rolled him to the kitchen with her feet and sat down in the floor next to FAT BOY and began feeding him three eggs, two pancakes, fourteen pieces of bacon, two sausage links, a bowl of oatmeal with butter and sugar, and finally chocolate milk to wash it all down with. Thirty minutes later FAT BABY was finished eating. He was rolled to the van and the lift took him up to his seat. FAT BABY could barely bend to sit in the seat.
Since FAT BABY did not meet the weight recomendation for child seats he was put in the regular seatbelt that was stretched out as far as it could go to fasten. After thirty minutes that it took to get FAT BABY settled into the van, they took off to the doctors. She could hear FAT BABY breathing hard in the back seat. Why is he always out of breath? She would ask the doctor why her baby breathes hard.
Once at the doctors office she unbuckled FAT BABY and put him in his stroller, which was actually a wheelchair because they make the weight limits on strollers so light that she hasn't found one to accomodate him. She pushes FAT BABY into the waiting room and begins to fill out the necessary paperwork. All the kids stop playing and stare. The older lady that was sitting next to them looked at the mother and shook her head. The woman didn't understand why she was getting such weird looks. This was her first doctor visit so she was excited to meet the pediatrician. The nurse came out of the office and told the mother her baby was the fattest baby she had ever seen. The mother looked at her like she was crazy.
The nurse immediately pushed FAT BABY back to behind the desk. She took out a tape measure to see how he has grown and it didn't fit around FAT BABY. Why was nothing made in America made to fit? The nurse added another tape measure to the existing one and kept shaking her head. FAT BABY was excited when he was stripped down to get checked. The nurse kept poking and proding the mass of fat while FAT BABY laughed. The nurse asked where she found diapers big enough to fit him. She told her that she had to find diapers in the grown up section because the regular diapers are so tiny they can't fit. Why do all of these people think her baby is so big?
