So tonight we did indeed go out, and thankfully we didn’t stay out as late as we initially intended. I did indeed get drunk as planned, and unfortunately am now paying the price. Ugh. But, I think it was a worth it for a nice out with family and friends, feeling giddy and forgetting all the YUCK.

During dinner my BIL’s new GF – whom we just met for the first time, btw – says to Den in the way of conversation, “So… any children on the way or anything?”

Den replied, “Well… it’s a long story, but that’s the plan. We’ve been trying for a while now.” (Again I’m amazed at how upfront my dear husband is being.)

Did we get assvice? NO!! She nodded and said sagely, “I know a few people who have been through that. A friend of mine tried for YEARS to get pregnant. It’s really amazing that it happens at all, it’s so complicated, everything has to happen at just the right time!”

And I thought… Yes. At least SOME people get it.

It was a very good evening overall. I just wish I didn’t feel so sick now.
