Photos

Every week, the website that I used for my registry sends me an e-mail that talks about how far along I am that week. It gives info on various aspects of that week of pregnancy and common experiences and symptoms and how to deal with them all. And it also starts with a sentence saying how big the baby is and a photo of some seemingly random item that is the same size. And I feel like it might be targeted directly to me – perhaps I gave my date of birth at some point – but it could just be super targeted to millennials period. Every item has been something significant from my childhood. They’ve been awesome. And, of course, I’ve enjoyed using the actual items, which I own – yes, I own most of them – to take a photo each week. It has been a blast.

This week’s? See here:

So, naturally, I made sure we pulled out the matching VHS and got the relevant photo to mark the occasion/timing and development.

So, though it was stressful getting my husband to get the specific photo I wanted – as it has been each time – I was and am quite delighted at the resulting photos.

So, yay for successful dorky fun!

Thank you, God, for this edge of joy on what has been a difficult journey thus far for us. Thank you for my husband. Make me and the baby and my husband well, please, and keep us all safe. Help keep my whole family safe, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
