We might also consider the possibility that the kitchen photos were from February, not May.

Proof of that can be seen in the close-up pics of that baby swaddled in the blankets where there is a very serious case of bilateral peri-orbital edema. I couldn't find anywhere where that is stated as a symptom of jaundice and I didn't search further. My gut tells me the rest of his face is affected as well. Add to that the hat is pushed all the way down to his eyes and that tightly wrapped blanket is shoved all the way up to his chin and his fat cheek his hanging over one side of it. I'm pretty sure that is adding to the fatness popping up out of the top of that swaddle versus the unencumbered Ruffles at the shower. <br /><br />Whatever caused the fluid around the eyes and face (or systemically?) could have resolved or been treated (baby Lasix? i don't know...) by the time of the shower and/or kitchen pics so Trig's face wouldn't have looked as chubby anymore. To be honest, this is the more simple and likely explanation, in addition to differences in the camera angles and pics.<br /><br />Just my .02.<br /><br />Great work everyone!<br /><br />Susan in MDSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099852407413566187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762475984160052230.post-89424770640786948192011-10-26T15:36:41.120-07:002011-10-26T15:36:41.120-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.KaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043005602676549904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762475984160052230.post-87488266290143763332011-10-26T12:10:08.972-07:002011-10-26T12:10:08.972-07:00Allison -- Just read your site, and you're doi...Allison -- Just read your site, and you're doing a great job!Amy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15250609551172928859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762475984160052230.post-79645082742651847782011-10-26T11:19:21.948-07:002011-10-26T11:19:21.948-07:00So glad you gave us the link to Regina's earli...So glad you gave us the link to Regina's earlier post, B.

Not that it isn't interesting. But if Trig had been a legit birth to her, as she stated, I could excuse using a doll for public appearances -- anything to protect the newborn is okay with me.

Ditto in the kitchen photos. But I agree that photos can be misleading re such a thing, plus even if we are 100% right, these photos are not proof -- unlike the Mar 14 photo of SP, which seems impossible to explain in any way except: SP was NOT pregnant on that day. And no matter how many babies, ears, or their birth logistics, the fact that <b>SP was NOT pregnant on Mar 14</b> is the key issue, the one that concerns the electorate.<br /><br />Also, re the PLP tip: I made an assumption that the PLP registration would have happened at the 3-mo-pregnant point in the Tripp pregnancy (when a deal was perhaps made), but there is nothing to warrant such an assumption. So I guess we wait and see what this tip actually means. My thoughts turn to Todd intending the plates for Shailey, then changing his mind. But that is so bizarre (to repurpose such a thing for a gift to one's daughter, unless in a rage re her sexual activity) that I can't believe that, either.Amy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15250609551172928859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762475984160052230.post-25181728407887547132011-10-26T08:54:53.315-07:002011-10-26T08:54:53.315-07:00This points away from my reborn doll theory.

Is the office baby three days later, sans bundling, also possibly the size of Ruffles?<br /><br />I still think the hospital/office baby looks unreal--waxy, fixed expression in both, even coloring--certainly not just out of a birth canal. I need to find video around either picture to see if "Trig" ever moves. But the main story is the same whether they used a doll or brought Ruffles to the hospital. A doll would just document that the scene was staged.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529712664480394198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762475984160052230.post-1356392393994232102011-10-26T08:37:01.215-07:002011-10-26T08:37:01.215-07:00thanks! fixed it!
