I just posted the image of SAD with the baby a little upthread, thought I might point out to those who haven’t seen that image before, that Madelyn Dunham apparently did go to Indonesia for the event. She’s standing there on SAD’s left...
Thanks. SAD looks like a normal doting mama.
Interesting that there is no similar photo of Stanley Ann and Madelyn doting over the firstborn grandchild. Madelyn went all the way to Indonesia to be there. Has that ever been mentioned before by her grandson? Any photos ever seen of baby Barack with his grandmother? Or infant Barack with anyone?
DL: You’ve convinced me about the no-preggers photos. It seems counterintuitive but you’re right. My mother had 6 kids and out of all, there’s one photo of her pregnant. Women didn’t like being photographed pregnant back then. It sticks in my mind that Stanley Ann wrote to her high school friends about the joys of wearing a mu’umu’u to school. I tend to believe that she was pregnant during that first semester in college.
