| | When I look back to last Halloween, I think of Hina trick-or-treating in sleet and snow. I remember my fears that we were inviting major sickness upon our child for letting her get candy in below 30 degree temps. I see her dressed in her butterfly costume, walking down the halls of Shawn's school and receiving candy from students outside their dorm rooms. I see Shawn dressed as a bag of espresso beans, with thanks to Brian and Michelle Miller, who gave us the bag when we first moved here four years ago. I cringe at my red shoes, which were supposed to complement my Keroppi get-up in a tree frog sort of way. What I didn't think of at the time, but that I do think of now, is something we were unaware of then. Rather than being cryptic, I should probably just deliver the obvious.
And perhaps that's why I'm finally brave enough to deliver...because it is so obvious. I guess when you're six months pregnant, it gets harder and harder to physically hide. It's been an up and down pregnancy, with two scares and one emergency room visit, after which I was told I was never pregnant and was misdiagnosed at 6 weeks with a blighted ovum. The Tuesday before Christmas changed all that, when we discovered how grateful people can be at refusing doctor's suggestions (in this case, for another D & C--dilation and curettage). At any rate, here we are now, still wondering the sex of our second child (since it's legs were shut at the twenty week ultrasound; see picture below), and still a little nervous whether or not we will actually add a new feature to this blog come July. We covet your thoughts and prayers in this respect. So, for the time being, here's a peek at Apostel #2:
