Last week our friends R & M made the announcement at another friend, L's, birthday party. They are 14 weeks along and it was unplanned, but they are happy, although completely stumped as to what they should be doing (babies were not on the cards for another few years for them).
While it's extremely happy news all around, the 'childless' group is getting increasingly small!
C & E just had their baby girl last month.
DF's sister A & fiance D (D is DF's best friend) are due in July.
M & A are due next month.
A & A are also due next month.
As well as J & K also due next month, expecting twins.
My friends N & N had their second child in January.
A girl I went to school with is due in three months.
Another close friend R & her boyfriend J are planning on having a baby in a year.
A friend of R & M had a baby boy 4 months ago, who also attended the party, where the announcement was made.
The birthday boy's sister also attended the party and bought with her, her husband and new baby boy as well.
And now R & M are expecting as well.
And to top it all off, at the party last week DF spent half the night holding the 4-month-old baby boy for the friend so she could eat her dinner, and just about everyone cooed at him "It suuuuuiiittsss you, D!".
Can I just say, *PRESSURE*, anyone???
Personally I would LOVE to have a baby right now, but we are not in the financial place we would like to be in at that time. And I would rather be at ease financially, as I can imagine everything else will be chaos at that time, it would make things so much more harder having to worry about money too.
But jeez, I am feeling surrounded by babies at the moment, it's all getting a bit insane!
argh! more babies!

i cant even begin to fathom all the changes to my body it will bring, let alone financial cost and stress and sleep deprivation.
