Babies!!!!
I'm going to be 26 in about 2 months. To me, although 26 is getting older, I never consider it to be a grown-up. Maybe because I am not married or a homeowner, or worse yet a parent. But it seems that 24-26 is the perfect age for all these activities.
At the current moment I know FOUR couples that are expecting. They are all due either in January, February, or April. This past weekend two of those four couples delivered!!!!!!!! I have never experienced being on the recieving end of a phone call starting "...she went into labor". If you know me, you know most adult experiences freak me out. Marriage - deep breaths. Babies - oh i'm going to throw up. My first reaction to this news - "I have the willies". Yup I said it. When discussing details of birth - "I threw up a little in my mouth". Yup, this is what they listen to...I am so supportive.
In all seriousness though, babies have entered my life! Granted I am not exceptionally close to all four couples that are delivering, but my best friends are - so in turn that makes me by default. I could not be happier for the new parents. Although you and your newborn are not yet reading my blog, I wish you all the happiness in the world! And if you need me to babysit, my going rate is $10/hr but I could cut you a discount.
