For the past week, we thought our son might be getting a little brother or sister. Turns out it was nothing more than a scare. I would be totally relieved if I weren’t so surprisingly disappointed.
I always thought I only wanted one child, so it’s funny that I feel like I lost something or someone — someone that never even existed!
We returned yesterday from a family vacation. Just the three of us (no fourth , afterall). We went to the zoo, the beach, the park, IKEA. All the typical stuff.
But really there was nothing typical about our vacation. I mean, when you think about it, on a day to day basis, we spend more time at work than with our families. Spending a full week with my husband and son was actually pretty atypical. I loved every minute of it. Also noteworthy, the Swedish meatballs.
Perhaps next time we will have another family member to bring along. Well, maybe in a couple years.

BTW, We loved spending time with you as well. A couple of years would be perfect. I think the “scare” is what made my beard grey. WTF??!!
