The universe strikes again

I recently volunteered to be on the board at Bean's preschool. Next year I will be the co-chair of fundraising, sharing the role with another mom whom I have not yet met. I'm really looking forward to working with her, as I've heard such great things about her and our back-and-forth emailing has been pleasant.

But today she mentioned that she's pregnant.

Due the same week that I would have been, if my chemical pregnancy hadn't just been chemical.

Really, universe? Was that necessary?
