What does your hubby do? Mine is a lawyer.

It's a bit hard to explain, but he's always traveling for business.
Speaker 1
Fair enough. Maybe he's ch-.. Oh never mind. How are the kids?
Speaker 2
We're settling in well... My twins have been angels since the first day home.
Speaker 1
You are lucky. Me and my husband are saving more before starting our family.

My husband and I decided to start trying for a baby.
Speaker 2
Congratulations! Happy for you. I hope to hear a good news soon.
Speaker 1
Thank you. What is it like having twins? Sounds like hard work!
Speaker 2
It sure is! I feel like 2 hands and 24 hours a day are never enough. Luckily my mom often come to help. 
Speaker 1
That's nice. How often do you get to play tennis?
Speaker 2
I used to play at least twice a week. Ever since I got pregnant with the twins until now they are almost 3 months old, I have not played even once. There is simply not enough time.
Speaker 1
that is tough but when they get older you will hopefully have more time for tennis. Maybe your husband could take the twins off your hands for a couple of hours on the weekend.
Speaker 2
My husband do offer that several times, but I'm the one who feel insecure to left the twins outside my visual range. Not like I distrust him or my mom, I think moms simply a bit it overprotective.
Speaker 1
oh yes I totally understand. My husband and I might move to Sweden after we have kids.
Speaker 2
Will your husband's job as a lawyer be okay if you moving here? I thought lawyers need different qualifications to practice on different countries.
Speaker 1
I think you're right. Sweden just seems like a great place to raise children. Can you speak Swedish?
Speaker 2
Of course I can. I was born and raise here. How about you and your husband?

Speaker 1
We should play at the tennis court sometime.
Speaker 2
that would be fun! would that be intersting for you?
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think so.  I played a bit in high school but maybe you could teach me?
Speaker 2
for sure! if you played before, you would pick it up really fast. we could go out for a lunch and tennis! you could meet the twins if you wanted to. you could get used to hanging out with some babies before you have your own
Speaker 1
Yes, definitely!  I'll need all the tennis and baby advice I can get.  Maybe drinks afterwards?
Speaker 2
you know, i haven't gone for drinks much since the twins were born, but that sounds absolutely fabulous. i need some more time just for me! what is your favorite drink? are you more of a wine or cocktail gal?
Speaker 1
More of a cocktail gal.  I like the fancy drinks!
Speaker 2
oh that is good, you can teach me all about cocktails then. i know there is a lot to learn there haha. and plus, pretty soon you will have to abstain for a whole 9 months or more!!
Speaker 1
Blegh.  So much for wanting to get pregnant...
Speaker 2
ya. there are a lot of things you have to give up...deli meat..sushi....it's a rough time
Speaker 1
What?? Why the deli meat?  What did it ever do to you?
Speaker 2
listeria...supposedly....sorry to rain on your parade. just remember the sweet baby you will be holding in your arms at the end of it!

Have you heard from your husband since he is on his trip?
Speaker 2
He has been calling regularly to keep me updated. This time he's in New York!
Speaker 1
Oh wow! I know you must miss him. How are the twins doing? Are they out of school yet for the summer?
Speaker 2
The twins are doing alright. They're actually participating in summer school now. Thank heavens for summer school because when they're home all day everyday I often feel like I have a much harder time keeping the house clean!
Speaker 1
I bet! Children are definitely a mixed blessing. I bet they love those meatballs though.
Speaker 2
They're not quite old enough for solid food yet, but we'll see if they take after me when they are!
Speaker 1
I use crumbled up cornbread in my meatball mixture. The sweet jiffy kind. Really jazzes it up a lot 
Speaker 2
That's interesting! I really enjoy using saltines in mine, but when my sister visits I have to use gluten free bread crumbs. She has celiac disease.
Speaker 1
Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. But definitely if I don't have cornbread or feel like making any Saltines or Italian croutons are my go-to
Speaker 2
The Italian croutons sound like a great idea! I don't know why I never thought of that before! I think I'll try that out and if it goes well I'll make some meatballs with Italian croutons for my husband when we returns from New York!
Speaker 1
Oh you're in for a treat. Good luck and let me know what you think! 
Speaker 2
I will! Thanks for the tip!

Speaker 1
What is your husband doing in New York?
Speaker 2
He is on a business trip. I think its related to importing and exporting. He does importing and exporting.
Speaker 1
Ah, an importer/exporter. Sounds very important. Does he have any co-workers I might have heard of?
Speaker 2
I don't know the name of any of his colleagues. But, he works for Vandelay Industries if you have ever heard of them.
Speaker 1
Hm, I think I once met someone at Vandelay Industries. I think his name was Arthur? You probably don't know him, but he was an interesting character.
Speaker 2
That name does ring a bell. Maybe I met Arthur one time. I'll have to ask my husband when he gets back from New York.
Speaker 1
How exciting! When is he due back from New York?
Speaker 2
He was supposed to be home sometime this week. But, he said he found a lead on a new potential exporting and importing gig. Something to do with selling high quality Raincoats.
