After only four weeks of my begging, Sed finally consented to let me photograph the growth of little Margarita from the outside.



This is about eighteen and a half weeks. Some of you guys are saying, "Whoa, maternity pants before week nineteen?" Bear in mind, please, that my wife is four feet, ten inches tall. There's only so much vertical space for the baby to grow into before it must begin growing out.

When she agreed to the photo, she said, "So you're going to document the growth and make a post about it once a month?"

"No way," I said. "Once a week."

We'll see if she lets me get away with that.
