OK, Baobab made me an offer I couldn't refuse so here's the surprise:

The week I left, my wife was suffering from the flu. When I came home, I was informed that she did not have the flu. In fact, she was not "sick" at all. But Pregnant.

In fact, she's almost 11 weeks pregnant (shows how much I pay attention to that "womanly" stuff). Due in late August...

So I'm not sure right now what this means for our upcoming Paris anniversary trip or the Convention in Hawaii this fall (see, aren't you guys proud, my first thought is of how this affects FLYING). In fact, I'm still absorbing the news.

As many of you know, we already have 2 kids, and we're pretty young (older than "friends," younger than "thirtysomething"), so I guess I'm actually really happy, but surporised since I THOUGHT my wife and I had agreed to stop at 2. Oh well, best laid plans and all that

Now that I think about it, about 4 months ago she DID say something about sharing responsibility for birth control ....

Anyway, sorry for going TOTALLY OMNI, but glad I can share!!!!
