I found out about three weeks ago that Michaele and Jeremy were expecting a second child about now. It’s been a while since I last saw Michaele, so this definitely took me by surprise. (After all, if you go around randomly asking people, “Oh, by the way, is your wife pregnant?” the best you can hope for is some very strange looks.)

Not having heard any updates, last night I dropped a line to a mutual friend asking if she’d heard any news. Lynn wrote back this morning with a birth announcement. The baby was born about eight hours after I asked if there was any news.

Clearly I need to ask my boss if there’s any news about me getting a raise!
