Just wanted to add that I too thought the kimono was clever. They have handled that situation well.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I realize I don't look at the TV as much as one might, but I had no idea she was preggo.

They've actually hidden it pretty well. They've done a lot of face shots, had her sitting at a table or desk, or shots of her from the back.

My guess is that she is having a boy (if the baby's sex is already known, I haven't seen it posted).
If you didn't knew to look for the "hide the belly" moments, I could see missing the fact that she is preggers. They did a good and varied job of keeping the attention elsewhere. But I want Sophie back next season!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I noticed all of the sudden from a shot of her face in one episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why do you guess it's a boy?

It is my own pregnancy predictor that has worked a fair percent of the time (I really should document the data and make charts, calculate statistics and such). Girls seem to set wider in the womb, making the pregnancy obvious from the back. Boys don't seem to do that. Again, this is just MY unscientific prediction theory.

It is my own pregnancy predictor
My BiL has predicted baby genders correctly now 23 times in a row. I finally got him to admit his technique this year - he waits for my sister to make a prediction, and then he chooses the opposite gender. So, we've now found out that he isn't an exceptionally good predictor, my sister is an exceptionally bad one!

Oooh, interesting use of parallels and reversals (somebody else posted this in a Mad Men blog): Ann Margaret is (a) a Swede and (b) originally named Olson. Ann Margaret Olson = Peggy Olson.
I think Weiner has a thing for name play (see also: Alice Cooper).

I'm pretty sure my sister was both executor and heir of my mom's estate.
My sister is the executrix of my Dad's estate and trust, so it's definitely possible (much to my dismay, since she sees no problem with having 25% of it in one tech stock).
Did anything happen after the Sophie letter/Welcome aboard! moment? My dvr cut off.
