This story is crazy...Man rescues baby from dumpster, later finds out he is the father:
I hope we don't find out later he was complicit in baby dumping.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

Oh thank dog. Finally got my plane tickets for Christmas and Paris (in the spring). I hate figuring that stuff out and making decisions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw another purple shirted woman. She's short-haired and dresses androgynously. The first purplesse was definitely a young hip alternative type. I try not to read too much into wardrobe choices, but both of them make me think it's a bit less likely they were coincidences.

That baby story sure is mind-bendy. And I will never get over the idea that women can go TO TERM and not notice they're pregnant. Not from all the stuff I hear from the pregnant women I know. They're either way atypical before the pregnancy or during or both, and I can't wrap my head around how much.

Willing suspension of disbelief?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not being aware of their bodies + having wonky cycles + massive denial is my guess

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dude, you guys need to watch I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant >[link] It's amaaaaaazing.
Generally, it is due to one or more of the following:
1. Thought she was infertile
2. Was using birth control
3. Spotting
4. Erratic or mainly absent period most of the time
5. Large woman
6. Small baby
7. Fetus/placenta positioned in such a way you're not going to feel much movement
8. Some other medical condition to attribute the symptoms to.
That last one is a biggie.
So, like, this one woman was 41, had been trying for years to have a baby, recently had a gastric bypass, had always had irregular periods, and HOLY SHIT she just had a baby.
Love that show.

I was wearing a purple sweater today, but I didn't remember that I had a reason for wearing purple until after I'd already gotten dressed. A pretty significant portion of my clothes are purple already.
