So, I called Drew and Rachel during a break from work -- easier to do on Sundays than during the week, because Sundays are usually pretty quiet.
"Mommy, are you going to surprise me by saying you're pregnant?" Rachel asked out of the blue. "Are you pregnant?"
"How would you feel if I were?" I said.
"YAY!!!" she squealed. "I'm going to have a baby brother!"
"I'm not pregnant, last I checked," I said. "Would you be mad at me if I was?"
"Yes," she answered firmly. "I would give you silent treatment for the rest of my life."
Good thing pregnancy is not in the cards, at least from Rachel's point of view. Seeing all the families with multiple children at brunch today (while Rachel was in religious school), it was hard not to think of how fun two could be -- especially when we picked up her friend, Dani, from school and brought her to our place for lunch and then swim lessons and a playdate. Hearing them chattering in the background was so nice, just like having twice the fun with TWO daughters.
