Meet the Cast

First, allow me to introduce the cast of characters, who will be named with anonymous nicknames to protect the not-so-innocent.
Me: New Mom on the baby train for 5 months now.
Baby Z (pic below): The package God delivered that has forever altered Me and my husband.
John: My husband has such a normal and ubiquitous name, he doesn’t get a nickname. Besides, the possibilities were sort of dreary (Hubbie, Dad, Papa Surf). I’m sure he’ll appreciate just going by John.
