Rosemary’s giant rainbow trout arrived today, and my mom was here when it came. Naturally, I made her hold it up like a pro fisherman. Isn’t it awesome?

Trout’s hiding in the garage until the baby arrives, so we can bring it in when we come home from the hospital. She’s going to go crazy for this fish, and how funny is it going to be in years to come when we explain that we got her a giant trout so she wouldn’t be jealous of her new sibling? Truly, one of those stories we’ll tell the prom date.
