Last week, over IM, Ryan asked what we were doing for our anniversary. I thought, “That’s strange. Our anniversary is in November!” I wrote back to him “No plans yet. Why?” He wrote, “That’s when we’re having a baby and paying you $1000.” Sweeeeet.

Some of you know this already but a few years ago, Jes and Ryan made a bet: Whoever has a baby first has to pay the other couple $1000. Michelle and I actually didn’t find out about this bet until two years ago. My first thought was, “That’s a lot of money!” Then my next thought was “Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” I didn’t know whether to be amused or annoyed.

Anyway, the long-running bet has ended and our dear melters will be bringing a child into this crazy world of ours. So what do you get when a frog and bird make a baby? We’ll just have to wait and see. But seriously, I’m so happy and excited for them. This truly is THE year to have a baby. Congratulations You Two!!
