One can only painstakingly open the door, greet the cuties with a smile, and comment on their costumes so many times without going stark raving mad. I always vowed I would never put my infant child into a silly costume on Halloween. I've changed my mind. If I am fortunate enough to have a 5 month old child in my arms next Halloween, that kid will be in a hot dog costume. I'll be so happy to have a little trick or treater of my own, that we'll attend every harvest festival, pumpkin patch hoedown, and carnival in town. So what that the baby will sleep through it all.
So, here's to one more Halloween, one more Thanksgiving, one more Christmas, and one more Easter without a little hot dog of my own. And, while it scares me that I'm being so optimistic and (once again) naive, I definitely still have my moments of panic. And, I think my panic will increase as we approach 23 weeks. For now, things are progressing surprisingly well. The cerclage was a piece of cake, I'm resting comfortably, and I only have one more Halloween to endure alone.

I'm right here with you on this post. Wishing you a hotdog :)

I your hot dog will be adorable next year!
Can't wait to see oscar mayer frogger.
I can't wait to see pics next year of the hotdog. We dressed up Andy as a tootsie roll. But we didn't take him out, we just took pics. But it was wonderful. Glad to hear the cerclage experience was good.
I don't think I've ever seen one, but I love the idea of a hot dog costume.
