Comment on Pregnancy Invisibility Powers by miranda

Dear Vanessa,
Invisibility during pregnancy is a little documented but very real condition. I suffered it while carrying both my children, so much so that my own mother had trouble seeing me. Shopkeepers would look through me, and at parties it was as if my husband had arrived on his own. I believe it is a mysterious but very real ailment, you fade as you belly grows. Once you have your baby, the invisibility is complete and it is quite possible that it remains permanent. (although the baby remains very visible) One should perhaps consider turning this strange phenomena to one’s advantage and do all sorts of things that would be considered unacceptable by ‘normal’ people. (I am actually writing a short story on this very subject at the moment.) Thank you for posting.

Congrats!!! We were surprised with all of ours. By the time Bright came around I was the only one asking if it was a boy or girl.

Scary. I would have panicked anticipating strong winds.

That’s not uncommon. At some hotels, you have to book a “waterpark rate”. Do you want Tom and me to stay at this hotel then you and I can take the park passes, and the kids too i suppose?

That is so funny… Do they call it tunamail instead of email?

Love,
