Make room for one more at the table

My brother’s pregnant.  Well, actually his wife is, of course.  You would have heard it otherwise on the evening news.

 

I’m going to be an uncle again.  This is very exciting news as it has been very difficult (and expensive) for my brother and his wife to get pregnant before this.  My niece and nephew are the product of modern medical assistance, and we’re so thankful that we live in an age that this assistance is available.  Those kids are just the best.

 

The cruel irony is that my brother and his wife had been meticulous about family planning and birth control up to the point where they decided they wanted to try for a baby---only to have to deal with the heart ache that all that birth control may have been redundant for all that time. 

 

Or so they thought!

 

Seems nature has triumphed over science once again!

 

As my wife exclaimed, “How cool.  And they didn’t even have to buy this one!”

 

(We’re all very excited---can you tell.  Congrats you guys!)
