BIG

So the big news is that Gracie and Lauren are going to be BIG SISTERS! They are so excited, having waited almost 4 1/2 years for the opportunity to delegate, assign blame (more effectively) and to have a shot at bossing someone around. (They try all of that now with each other, of course, but they feel like there will be greater ease with a newcomer, who is scheduled to arrive in July.)

The most commonly asked question we receive is if we are expecting one baby or two. That's a fair question. For those who do not already know, any guesses? If you guessed a second set of twins, are you trying to age us even more? This time there is a single, lone baby, and it has been wonderful, with only minor fatigue, nausea, etc. What a difference a singleton pregnancy is! Or, as Gracie has said, "There's just ONE baby, and (looking around intently at all of us) we all have to SHARE!"
