Six years ago today, to within a few hours:
It's been good so far, I think we'll stick with it a while longer...
If you'd like to see more evidence that Kate's way too good to me, here's a picture taken today:
That's from the pregnancy mug shot gallery. The T-shirt she's wearing, if you care, is this one, reading "Yes, I'm pregnant. NO, you may not touch my belly."
That's all for today, because between the baby shower and the driving, I'm beat. Talk among yourselves for the evening, I'm taking a night off.

When I got home that afternoon, Edie was in a bit of a state.
"Luc, what is going on?"
"What do you mean?"

I'm getting a lot of questions via email and comments about our experience entering into the foster parenting world, and I did want to talk about this. Some people are critical, and think we're nuts (quite possibly), some people want to watch because they want to try this too (cool), some people…
I don't usually do "memes," but the "weird things" one (via Janet) seems entertaining. So here are some weird things about me:
1) I carry on complicated conversations with the dog, translating her bits into English in a high-pictched voice. I started doing this to amuse/ annoy Kate, but now I do it…

Love the t-shirt. I definitely remember the 'touching' problem from my wife's two pregnancies, one with twins where she was . . .well, huge.
It certainly seems to be an innate reaction in some subset of the population. Surely there have been studies of the phenomenon.

Clark, so far no strangers have touched my belly, so I may be a counterexample to your theory. I hope.
(And to conclude the marital ritual: I am not too good to you. Or for you.)
