- I'm ready to try, at least.

- Good.

- Be safe getting home, Ms. Abbott.

- I will. Good night.

Good night.

- How you doing?

- Kevin, what you doing up?

Monique, your son out of bed.

Hey, so I was... I was thinking

about applying for a job for next fall.

Don't you think that's kind of a lot

to take on right after the baby's born?

I don't know. A lot of people do it.

Yeah, I mean, I think we could talk

about it after the baby comes

just 'cause then we'll finally know

what it's like to be parents,

and we'll have a better idea of, you know,

what it's like for you to go back to work.

Yeah.

Hey, I just want you to enjoy

being a new mom

without having to worry

about a bunch of stuff.

Yeah.

We had a month delay on our Link card

in October, and that really put me back.

Now, I know about this already, Mrs. Taylor,

and we've already taken care of it.

Yeah, well, we got the Link

back working, but you never...

Auntie J, can I see your phone?

Now, you know we can't do that,

Mrs. Taylor.

Yeah, just the letter game.

...because this one's pregnant,

and she's eating for two now.

When the baby comes,

you can add it to your household,

but I can't increase your money

before the baby's born.

Listen, after the baby is born

or if anything should change before then,

make sure you give me a call.

Make sure you stop by the office. Okay?

Okay.

That man would ever answer the phone, we

wouldn't have to waste the whole afternoon

coming down here

to listen to him tell us no.

- Hi, everybody.

- Hi.

I'm Steve. I'm gonna be performing

your ultrasound today.

- Great.

- This is just a standard 20 week?

Right. Well, technically 21 weeks.

Okay, great. I'm gonna need you

to scoot back a little bit...

Okay.

If you could unbutton

the top button of your jeans there.

Gonna have you tuck this towel in.

- All right.

- Right.

Were you hoping to find out

the sex of the baby today?

Yes. We would like that.

Okay, well, let me take a few measurements,

and then we will go exploring.

All right.

Right there, that is the baby's head.

- Just measure that real quick.

- Holy sh*t. That's the baby's head.

What is that little

blinking light there?

That is the baby's heart,

and it's going really strong,

so let me record that.

Are you ready to find out the sex?

Yeah.

Congratulations,

you're having a baby girl.

Oh, my God. It's a girl.

Yeah, everything looks good,

and, again, these aren't 100% accurate,

so sometimes there are some surprises...

- but I am seeing all girl from right here.

- Right.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't worry. This is a really

overwhelming visit for a lot of people.

- Yeah.

- I'll just give you a few minutes.

- Thank you.

- Sorry.

Hey, hey.

Talk to me. What's going on?

What's happening?

Is this...

- because she's a girl?

- No.

Is it because it's a baby?

Oh, baby.

- We knew there was a baby in there.

- No, not really.

Yeah, for a while now.

But you can't see it, you know?

- You can feel it, right?

- Yeah, but it's different when you see it...

moving around like that.

Yeah.

I just thought... I don't know,

I thought we would, like, come here...

the guy would be like, "I'm sorry...

"You know, there's been a mistake. There...

the baby has no heart," or something.

No, no. Okay, so...

you're just relieved.

I just... I feel like I just

found out I'm having a baby.

We're having a baby.

We're having a baby.

All right, so our project

is about bee disappearance.

So bees are flying insects

closely related to wasp and ants.

They're known for their pollination

and their production of honey and beeswax.

Bees are a monophyletic...

lineage within the super family Apoidea.

We still have to get all the information

on the board, though.

Are you gonna print that off

later today? Okay. Good.

So let's just look at this math.

So what are we doing? 55...

- Bunnies.

- Okay, by 30. Okay.

And is this... is this the diagram

you're gonna use for that?

It looks good.

How are you gonna attach this?

Oh, okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You help me clean up,

I'll help you get into college.

Okay.

My boyfriend's picking me up

when he gets off work.

- Okay. Where does he work?

- In a warehouse.

- Doing what?

- Moving boxes.

Cool. That's great.

Hey, what did he say when you told him

about the baby? Was he mad?

Why would he be mad?

I don't know. Was he excited?

Yeah.

So, I think that you should work on your

Illinois University application first.

- Okay.

- All right.

And then we'll work on Truman

and Northeastern

- once we get that one sent off.

- Right.

So what you need to do is talk to Mr. Hope

and get copies of your transcript.

All right. And then go to all your teachers

and get those rec letters now, because...

everybody waits until the last minute.

And then there's the essay.

That's the most important part,

so we really need to work on that.

Does it sound good?

- Yes.

- Great.

Oh, I got to go.

Well, hey, I want to meet him.

Okay. He gonna be shy.

That's okay.

Travis, this is Ms. Abbott.

Ms. Abbott, this is Travis.

- How you doing?

- I'm good. How are you?

I'm doing fine.

- I told you he was gonna be shy.

- What you talking about?

- You all get some work done?

- A little bit.

- Want to get something to eat?

- Always.

- Nice to meet you.

- You too.

- Bye.

- Bye, guys.

What?

John. I invented something.

- What?

- I invented a pregnancy thing for pants.

That's awesome. I'm gonna head out.

I'll see you after work.

All right.

- No, I'll take care of it. It's okay.

- Okay, I'ma hold you to that.

You said today that you would babysit

my baby, so when I come calling, Teresa...

- That's fine.

- Don't hit ignore.

So as you can see, each pump

operates a little differently,

but most of them are electrical.

Who has the manual pump?

Take a deep breath in. Exhale.

Bend into your knees.

Bend into your elbows.

Broaden your chest by reaching

your elbows slightly back.

Oh, feel it. She's kick...

yeah, right there.

Hey.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Give us some.

Give us some. What you got?

I wish. I wish I could rap like this,

but I can't, so I'm stuck.

How's little man?

- How you know it's gonna be a boy?

- Just 'cause I do.

I can't believe you making me

find out when I want to wait.

You always be convincing me

of doing things.

You gonna text me as soon as you know?

For real? I thought

you were coming with me.

Nah, I got to meet up

with Eddie and them.

Thought we were doing this together.

I already told you

I know it's gonna be a boy.

Hey, I'll come by tonight.

The heart is beating so fast.

Nope, it's perfect.

You sure you don't want to know

what it is?

No. I want to be surprised.

Hi, this is Shelly Roa. Leave a message.

Hey, Shelly, this is Samantha Abbott.

Listen, I was just wondering if you still

had any connections at the Field Museum.

I'm thinking about applying

for a position there.

Anyway, if you could give me a call back,
