I survived another dinner with one of my closest friends without telling her. It was really hard though. I did slip once and say "When this kid is born," but we were talking about parenting and things are parents did, and she knows we're 'not not trying'. She didn't say anything about it, but I have a feeling she won't be terribly surprised at the BBQ. 

The craziest storm is winding down here. For close to three hours it rained really hard and thundered really loud. Gracie is a panicky wreck, and even Maggie is being weirdly cuddly. I couldn't see the walking path behind my house through the rain, it was so heavy!
