At 5'1", I think 5'4" is *tall*, but that's just me.
Indigo Girl blogged recently about the double the 18-month height formula. She didn't say it was specifically for girls, but she has all girls.
I've also heard: take average of mother's height and father's height, then add 2" for a boy or subtract 2" for a girl.
P.S.
Selina at 24 months old is something along the lines of 31.5 or 32 inches tall (and wiggly). That would make her 5'4" ish when she grows up, which is taller than I expected. Her mom is only about 4'11"--maaaayyybe 5 feet--tall. I forgot to measure Nat at 24 months, but her mom is about 5'4". ...
I'm sorry. I hope the phone sessions help. Your therapist always sounded amazing when you wrote about her back then.
A Rough Go of It
Sorry for the silence. I don't think I'm doing so well. Caroline's potential issues and my Asherman's have resurrected the Habitual Trauma Searcher. One minute I'm coping just fine, the next I'm crying after a relatively reasonable phone conversation with a nurse. People keep telling me not...
Ah. the mold. I've got it too. The worst is that it is not seasonal, just comes and goes all year long. I sometimes envy the cedar fever folks. I hope the claritin helps Hannah.
Triple-Whammie, and a Bonus
As promised: Hannah's Sleep, or Lack Thereof After what was likely the most hellish night since this whole sleep debacle began, I called Hannah's pediatrician this morning to schedule an appointment. When the nurse asked what the reason for the appointment was, I frankly replied, "To rule out a...
That sounds like a hard decision. Good luck.
One thing to consider might be that you are already public, to the extent that you spoke to the Lege committee that time, your picture is on your blog, etc. So it might be a false sense of security you get from a pen name. Gosh, I sound paranoid, sorry, but what I mean is that you can still take measures to protect your security even if using your real name.
On the other hand, there is a long history of authors using pen names, or different names for different genres (for ex, academics who use pen names to write mysteries, pulp fiction writers who use different names for mainstream vs. erotic books) so you could make a "name" for yourself that is separate from your freelance work.
False Name
I have a decision to make, and I'm hoping you can help. I imagine any of you who've been in a bookstore in the past year or so have seen this book. (Take a minute to read the editorial review, to get a feel for it.) I'm not even what the mainstream would define as a "liberal", and yet, I'm nau...
I'm so happy to hear that it went well. Thanks for the update.

This is Julia's mom. She knows how her girls worry about her, so she asked me to drop a note to everyone to say that her surgery this morning was successful, and possibly even better than her doctor had expected. She was back home around lunch and had enough medication to enjoy some serious po...
