I’m grateful to report that I’m back to my old boring ways! Although the contractions are still a bit more frequent than they were prior to yesterday, I don’t feel nearly as wiped out by them. The nurses are relieved that I’m once again considered low-maintenance. I’m happy to oblige!

I’m excited to be seeing Jim’s sister Julie and her family tomorrow. They flew in from Arizona and spent time with their family at the Jersey shore and now they’ve driven up to Connecticut. I haven’t seen them since February, and I’m eager to interact with the twins, Jonathan and Katelyn, now that they’re more active and independent than when we were last together. It’s hard to believe that they will be a year old in August. And I suspect that their 12-year-old daughter, Allison, has also grown since February. I can’t wait to see that young lady! She’ll be spending several weeks with us after her parents and siblings fly back to AZ, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to chat. I’ve already warned Allison that she’s going to have to give me some child-rearing lessons while she’s here – she has much more experience with infant twins than I do! <\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
