Something Is In The Water & I Want To Drink Some

Watch out, there must be something in the water, because people I know all around me are having babies, and I mean right now this month or the next they are due. All of the sudden (well 8-9 months later) they are all due about the same time!

My dear friend, Suzy, from grade school is probably in labor now; or she is at the grocery store and they are announcing over the intercom, clean up on aisle 7, because her water just broke? She was due the 26 on Tuesday. Any minute now for her, she will be giving birth to a beautiful baby. I do not know, maybe she had her baby last night? I need to find out more and check her MySpace, or better yet I will call her. If she just had a baby, I don’t think she would have time to put an update on MySpace.


Then my cousin Dan and his wife, Anna are expecting their first child. She is almost 8 months pregnant! I am not sure on their due date, I need to call them also and congratulate them.

Also my wonderful sister-in-law, Kyoung is about to pop in a couple of weeks! Kyoung and Jordan are expecting their first child as well. She will be due on October 13th which is a Friday this year, ooh? Maybe I am superstitious but Friday the 13th is considered a bad luck day. God is watching over them and will make every thing work out. The 13th is JUST a due date, not a definite date of birth, maybe my little nephew or niece will be born on the 12th or 14th instead? If he/she is born on the 13th, then this day from here on out will be known as a good luck day! Why is Friday the 13th bad luck anyway? Who started that? Some superstitions’ are silly when I take time to look at them. Knock on wood everything goes well with my little niece/nephew due on the 13th. =)

Lastly, I have been temping at different offices filling in where companies need me here and there. One temp job is for a maternity leave for their receptionist. I hope to get this temp job, because it is for 10 weeks while she would be out for maternity leave. This is just one more person I know of who is pregnant and having their baby any day now.

A total of four people all due with in a month’s time. Oh wait I almost forgot! Our friends, Janie and Michael, are paper pregnant (adopting); their paper work is all complete and now they are waiting for a baby girl to arrive from the stork, and soon they will have their first baby also.

So you see, everyone around me is having babies, and I am itching to have one now too! As I mentioned earlier something is in the water, and I want to drink it. I want to be a mommy and for Andrew to be a daddy. Ideally though, we have to wait a little bit longer. Currently I am finishing my last two classes to finish up school, and applying for full time jobs, and we also want to buy a house first. THEN we can look at having a baby, when the dust settles from everything else going on all at once. =) I am usually patient, but when all I see and hear are due dates popping up, and my friends and family are all having babies at the same time, it gets hard to put the baby making off and I want to have one too! Why can’t I drink the water?!

Martiel-

Your time will come soon enough and you will be writing about how the two of you are expecting..
For the meantime, think of all the fun you will have playing with all of these new babies and handing them to their parents when they need a diaper change!!
Take the advice that has been given to me: Enjoy your time now!!
Enjoy the freedom- the ability to sleep in when you want, go where you please WHEN you please, etc. Enjoy the un-complicated travel, the lazy days of doing whatever you feel like...
Because as it has been told to me soon life will NOT be like this at all--
There will be diapers, bottles, no sleep, etc.
Oh and one more thing---
You can always practice your 'baby-making' skills because as they always say.... Practice makes perfect!! ;)

-Janie
