It's funny how the homophones of these legal-ish words (parity, comity) mean something far more amusing...
I am envisioning pregnancy and labor and delivery and our new family member. It is not helping that I've bookmarked more pregnancy and mothering websites than any other kind. I've read tons of birth stories and watched L & D slideshows and daydreamed of the births I attended as a doula. As often as not, we're brainstorming (and laughing about) possible names.
By the way, if you ever need a good laugh, look up your local hospital's baby registry. There are some hilarious name choices - including but not limited to: Rowdy (two of them born at the same hospital); Lucifer (yikes); Pheaktra (pronounced Petra, and it's a boy- this one shared by a friend who's a teacher); N Dogg (seriously)...
I am thinking of having the photographer who did our engagement pictures do more family pictures for us- while I'm pregnant, possibly at the birth (if she does those live action kinds of shots) and definitely after the new family member's here. She is so talented (here's some of her work), and it would be amazing to have those moments captured artistically and clearly.
Oh, and, yes, bar studying is going well. I'm thinking of that as another little member of the family for whom I have to labor and deliver. But it doesn't make for good photography...
