Or at least you’d think so by the way pregnancy is spreading at my office. I just had a visit from one of my female colleagues from the department to inform me — officially — that she’s pregnant.

\nIn upcoming weekend news, Ava’s staying at Gramary’s Saturday night, so Leah and I are going to drive down to Washington to eat at Cafe Dodici. They’ve just reopened after a winter hiatus, so it seems like a good opportunity to visit.
