1 in a Series of N

Where N will, I assume, approach infinity. Theorizing that the likelihood of me being six months pregnant just in time for Halloween was unlikely to happen again, Marc and I decided that a theme costume was clearly in order. And, as such, I present the first photo which we have no doubt we will enjoy using to embarrass Ozmo during his or her adolescent years:

And for those who are wondering, that dress is not from a costume shop, but from a website that purports to sell actual maternity clothes. What you can't tell from the photo, sadly, is that it came down to the mid-thigh area, if that. And that the neckline was, um, deep. It was fascinating. And led to many jokes about how women who dress like that after becoming pregnant? Well, it's not hard to guess how they got that way (ruining my feminist cred a little here, but come on! it's just so easy!). Sadly, though, the sequins scratched my arms up so badly that the dress ended up in the dumpster the next morning, so I'm afraid you'll never get the chance to see it yourself.

Great Photo! :)

Glad that the issues worked out and I wish you all a healthy and happy start to being a family!

On a related side note, seriously, you only think college prepared you for the sleep deprivation. Get set to be more tired than you have ever been in your life. :)

And don't forget, when the baby spits up hold it closer, not further away. It is a lot easier to clean you and the baby up than it is to clean you, the baby, the rug, the couch cushion, etc....

Best of luck!
