Supposed to be the first!

By Moriah on March 14th, 2008

Normally when there’s news of a new baby, the women are the first to know and they dutifully pass around the juicy little tidbit. But this year? Twice Andy’s been the first to know – twice! And they’re my friends, too! Unbelievable!

We were on the train into NYC for my cousin’s recital and Andy was chatting it up with Ethan and the next thing I heard is, “does Moriah know?”

Clearly not.

And then, just last weekend, Andy called while I was shopping at Aldi’s and practically shouted into the phone, “I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW!” And I could just picture him dancing around the living room.

Sure enough, I got home and he was still dancing.

I duly seized his cell phone, locked myself in the bathroom, and checked all of his recent call history.

Because I’m smart like that.

Unfortunately for me, it didn’t give me any new information because he had spoken with practically all of the husbands who were on my “maybe” list. His advice to me? “You’d better start calling all of your friends and asking them for their secrets!”

I was not about to give him that satisfaction, no siree.

So, I busied myself with other things until finally my phone rang and “Nicky” registered on the caller ID. “Hello. Do you have something to tell me?!”

But, seriously, I can’t believe twice in a row Andy knew before me. Twice!
