Exciting News!
Jeff and I returned home at about 6pm yesterday evening, having spent both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with both branches of my family in the wilds of the Hudson Valley. Actually we had a really wonderful time, in spite of the pouring rain and rapidly dropping temperatures.
However, one of the most interesting things happened while we were still in Kingston. Soon before we left for the bus station, I called my cousin Kim to wish her and Nick (her husband) both a happy holiday.
She surprised me with the wonderful news that she was two months pregnant. In fact, she had found out she was pregnant the week before our wedding, but wanted to wait to be certain everything was fine before announcing the news.
I am very excited for them! My cousin and I were always rather close, as we were born approximately six months apart, and spent our childhood together. Perhaps, if we are lucky, our children might do the same!
And, for the record, I am NOT “preggers” myself at this time…
