She's Having Two Babies


After nine years of being the only sister with children, Allison is finally expecting some of her own. And much to our delight, she will be the second sister in the family to have twins! Happily, this will finally put to rest the burning question posed to me nearly daily: Do twins run in your family? Well...clearly.

So far she is having an extremely breezy pregnancy. Not the first wave of nausea, no fatigue, no heartburn. Nothing, nada, zilch. She looks amazing and her mood is great. She is the Pregnancy Goddess.

Except for one thing. She is completely and certifiably insane with regards to her post-pregnancy expectations. She thinks that when the babies are three months old she will be ready to go to Ireland with her husband for a vacation. And when they are four months old she plans on running in the Boston Marathon.

As my 92 year old grandmother likes to say: "I'm just going to sit back and pat my foot."
