But not for long.
Chicago, in retrospect, was a bit exhausting. It’s not the kind of place you go for a little R&R. Fortunately, we’re following Chicago with an honest-to-goodness relaxing trip to N. Minnesota this week, starting Thursday. We’ll be gone until the 13th.
In other news, BABIES EVERYWHERE! In the past week, one of our friends had a little girl, and two different couples we know have announced new pregnancies, one for the first time. It’s kind of wild to be in the middle of so much procreation, but it’s cool.
I find myself not really capable of providing any worthwhile advice to the couple who’s having a baby for the first time (not that they need it or would solicit it of me in any case). It’s an odd feeling to have lived the experience of raising a child every single hour of every day for almost three years and to still feel like you don’t have the first clue what you’re doing.
