ita - I loved that Sherlock Holmes promo! It does look totally cracktastic - I cannot wait.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
At 35 weeks PG, I seriously can't imagine not knowing. It feels like I have an alien in my stomach, just itching to bust out!
Once, when my mom and I were talking about the woman-who-didn't-know-she-was-pregnant phenomenon, my mom said, "I don't see how that's possible; after 6 or 7 months, it's like you have a little ham rolling around in there!"
That's me: Mommy's Little Ham.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
"I don't see how that's possible; after 6 or 7 months, it's like you have a little ham rolling around in there!"
If ever I need reminding that pregnancy really probably isn't for me, I shall remember that one.

I worked with a woman who didn't discover she was pregnant until well in her fifth month -- she was on medication for her alcoholism-induced bleeding ulcers, so she figured her lack of menstruation and other symptoms were related to that. If not for a doctor suspecting something was up, I do believe she'd have been surprised on the day of the birth.
(I also understand that her alcoholic boyfriend subsequently refused to believe it was his kid.)
Lost track of her when she left for maternity leave and I then left the job for better places, but I can only hope mom and baby's story took a better turn from there.

My daughter wants to go to a church, and I want to take her, but I'm not sure which one to go to. Not Catholic (sorry), and found the Unitarian Church not spiritual enough. Episcopalian?
Burrell, I have been thinking about taking Noah to All Saints in Pasadena. They do a family oriented service on the second saturday of each month where kids are invited to be part of the entire service.
Anyhow, we should go together. I know Pasadena is a slog for you, but it would definitely be nice to see you.

Seriously, I'm suspicious about that convenient conclusion, because it sounds like a truly elaborately staged suicide.
Also, handwriting analysis? Three letters (F E D) written in haste/with emphasis isn't exactly a large enough sample to put a lot of faith in.

I can't imagine not knowing I was pregnant, even in those first months - the sway of too much walking made me seasick.
My baby girl has her first cold, and is miserable. I wish I could do more for her.

Sparky, I'm glad for mothers today that laudanum is no longer legal, because it must have been a temptation to dose a miserable kiddo.

I can't imagine not knowing, but both of my pregnancies have been planned so I was expecting the symptoms and had the pee-sticks ready to go. I also had such terrible morning sickness both times that if I hadn't suspected pregnancy I'd have gone to a doctor just for that.
