Additions to the World

So I got a call last week from one of by closest and dearest friends. She is pregnant. She and her husband have been trying for a while, and with a "little help" they finally did it. She is due in March (which is ironic because she is an accountant - no tax season for her).

We also found out that I will be an aunt. This is so from my husband's side not mine (thank God!!). Eva is going to have a little brother or sister. The gross thing is Brett and I sat down and counted back and we swear they had make up sex after our wedding (there was a little tiff that night).

So of course with all these pregnancies in the works I keep getting asked, "When are you going to have a baby?" For crying out loud, I have been married a whole 3 months! And for all those people who know me, having a child is the farthest thing on my mind. Not that I won't have any, but let me enjoy this part of my life first! I like my freedom and when you throw a child in the mix you say good-bye to that.

Please don't get me wrong - I am so excited for my friends and family. It is just not for me right now. So please stop asking me about it!!!!

I promise I won't ask. And for the record, I understand your views on this. When I was married, we waited a full four years. I took the Clearblue Easy test on the day of our four year anniversary. By then, we had a home on several acres, two vehicles that were nearly paid for, and a nice little nest egg. And we were ready to add a little something to the mix.

And then he stopped for a soda one night at the local 7-11 during a midnight shift and threw away his family for a tryst with a convenience store clerk with a GED and a husband off at Marine Corps boot camp.

But I digress. I always think waiting is best. Enjoy your career, enjoy your time alone together. There is no hurry!

You're smart.

Hi Kel...you know I'm one of those friends who is like, "have a baby now!", but only because I think you will be a great mom. However...I would love it if you waited because then the chances of us having kids close together is better and our kids can grow up together like we did!! And that would be awesome!! ☺
