I thought it was transvaginal. She had the blue paper blanket thing pulled up to her chest so her belly didn't seem to be exposed. Could you do an ultrasound through that much belly fat anyway?

Exactly, it was. And no, her weight would make it impossible to do a surface ultrasound. One of my friends (who is very heavy) had a similar issue and was freaked out that they couldn't get a read on the baby doing a standard ultrasound. No heartbeat, no image, nothing. So they did it transvaginally instead and all was well.

i find it so uncomfortable watching her, she looks miserable.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I hate him.

Every week I have said this.

I hated him last year when he showed up at the fat camp, etc but feel better about him this year. Kate and Kevin are battling their addictive personalities at the same time in his little apartment so understandably he is like WTF is going on. I think he is handling it pretty well.

Thanks for pointing that out. It made me feel a bit better about him.

She looked scared but secretly pleased to me.

I am really having trouble not hating Kate. So she is being obsessive because she is pregnant. One, I cannot believe extreme dieting is good. But even if it is, here is an idea, tell Toby. You know, the father of the child.

And you still do not abandon your twin brother, minutes after promising to take care of him after surgery. If anyone could have got Kevin to follow doctors orders, it would have been her.

I think the pp is right about Jack killing himself, because clearly all theses kids are totally messed up.

I have a family member who was adopted from foster care and had similar hygiene issues. Beth and Randall are trying their best and are awesome parents, but I hope they don't end up being in over their heads.


****SPOILER ALERT****




Also, I should have seen the pregnancy coming. It fully explains why Kate has been acting strange towards Toby (and in general) and obsessing about her health. I'm interested to see how this storyline plays out. And yup, it seems like they'll continue dragging out the mystery behind Jack's death for as long as possible.

****SPOILER ALERT****

She'll miscarry and blame herself and her weight.

A spoiler alert is when something has happened. She didn't have a miscarriage, so that isn't spoiler alert.

It's a spoiler that she's pregnant if you haven't seen the episode.

So....did they get new writers or something? Because last season was BY FAR better than this season!

Most shows go through a sophomore slump.

But I agree, this is pretty drastic.

Sadly, I agree. Not sure if my expectations are too high, but I no longer look forward to watching it.

There were two painful episode in a row. I think it will improve. Part of the reason it sucks is that they spent the first season tearing down Rebecca’s image. Now, they have to rehabilitate her and tear down Jack.

This show has good bones but it is making the audience hate each lead character slowly over time. That is not sustainable at all. I currently hate Kate, and Toby, rising hatred for Kevin and Beth and next will be Rebecca, jack and Randall.

You should definitely stop watching the show if you hate all the characters.

I find them all complex and interesting, which is why I still watch it.
