Great expectations

A few weekends ago I helped host a baby shower for one of my sisters-in-law, who is having an unexpected but cherished first kid. This afternoon I packed up a bunch of baby stuff lingering in our basement to give to her next week.

Tonight we got the news that another sis-in-law, who married into the family last summer and has been trying ever since, is now 8 weeks along.

Right now I'm having a glass of wine and waiting for the Emperor's bed time, reminding myself that I have an amazing son and I am Very Happy for my in-laws. So Very Happy.

The Emperor was messing around in the bathroom instead of following the nightly routine, so without thinking I called to him "Talk less, brush more!"
