This isn't me. But it may as well be me today when I went to get a Massachusetts driver's license. Why do I always seem to pick the most unflattering times to get a new license? The last license renewal I had wasn't planned. I was signing up to take a massage therapy test and hadn't gotten a license with my married name yet. When I went to sign up for the test they told me I needed a more current license, so I bolted out of the office, ran to the nearest DMV, and got a new one. Well, that day I had neglected to do just about anything to myself, and for the past 2 years I've been pretty unhappy anytime I've had to pull out my license for some reason.
Today I got a Massachusetts license, and of course I am 9 months pregnant. For the next several years I will have to look at a photo of myself simulating a walrus whenever I have to display my i.d. Never again! This will be me next time:
....except I probably won't be holding an Academy Award, or wearing a formal gown.....

The same thing happened to me! I got a GA license when I was 8 months pregnant in the middle of August. So not only was I huge, I was hot and sweaty (because the DMV didn't have air conditioning). And apparantly GA takes DL pictures from the waist up. Yikes.

Oh man, that is awful. So sorry. But at least you have a good story to tell. Can you believe you are almost done!?! We can't wait to hear the good news when it happens!

I wonder what would happen if you just brought in your own photo of yourself and told them "I'd like to use this one!" Are there rules against that?

I would go back but the thought of facing a Mass DMV again makes my stress level go through the roof!
