It's a Halloween Baby!

The cat's out of the bag: a third Grover is officially in existence and spends all his/her time doing water aerobics in my belly. Little Spooky's due date is October 27th, and David and I are giddy about it. We've taken to practice-lecturing our future babies in our spare time, trying out different jokes and puns that will be sure to make our kids roll their eyes in disgust. I literally can't wait.

Aside from raised eyebrows from some people at school ("You're having a baby in the middle of your coursework? Really?"), most people, including my professors, have been very encouraging and congratulatory. I do worry that I won't be able to give my scholarship or Little Spooky my 100% all, but I'm sure going to do my darnedest to do my best. People are always going to have excuses about why they can't keep all their bases loaded. The trick is not to quit once you fall behind. I learned that from Aesop's Fables (I think....or maybe it an was old Care-Bears episode).

Anyway, I used my awesome computer/science skills to anticipate what Spooky is going to look like. I took some pictures of what David and I looked like as babies, and used a top-of-the-line program to take our basic bone structures and facial features to create a hypothetical photograph of what our baby will inherit from us. Isn't it great?

So I took this picture of David as a little guy:
And this picture of me as a little girl:

And this what came up:















............*drum roll*..............




















..............wait for it.............

















TA-DA!!!!!!!!


So cute! Obviously, Spooky will inherit all his baby hair from me.

Of course, even if Spooky isn't born with a mane like I was, according to the following exhibit, the crazy baby hair will arrive at least by the time s/he enters high school:

Exhibit A: Emily's Baby Hair

Exhibit B: David's High School Hair

*Scholarly note: Not only has David kept this hair long and strong, but he still sleeps with that blanket (that he made himself) every night. Adorable! I love my little family!
