C'mon Baby Let The Good Times Roll

My world has kind of shrunk since Grady was born. I'm all about the babies now. Baby this and baby that. I'm okay with it. I know it won't last forever.

With the lack of travel and parties and disposable income in my life, I find myself getting jazzed about all things baby. Like the onslaught of 2012 babies.

There's Lisa's baby. Leah and Jonna's babies. Kristin's baby. There's an Awkwardly Social baby. A Fab Brunette baby and a Mama in the City baby.  Lots of babies. So many babies that I'm probably forgetting a few (sorry! Baby brain!)

But you guys. There is one baby in particular who is making me clenchy with excitement. Turtle is having a baby! Big sister, best friend, heart person, Turtle is due in May with either my second niece or my first nephew (ultrasound has confirmed there is only one.)  And? She totally knows if it's going to be my second niece or my first nephew but she won't tell me. She won't tell anyone, so I'm not taking it personally. I'm trying to patient until she feels like she's ready to share the news. (Yes, Turtle, sending passive aggressive emails is my way of being patient. Next week? My way of being patient will include phone calls.)

Babies! Wheee!

  1. Yay, another family baby!

    I have two cousins who are close to me in age (I'm 6 months younger than the other two) and when we were growing up, the two of them were best buds. And when we went to visit that part of the family, we were 3 peas in a pod. Having cousins close in age can be so much fun, so I am excited for your kid's new future playmate!

  6. It is funny, isn't it? I ran from babies like the plague, and then suddenly I was all, "Oh, do you have a picture of your baby? Can I see?"

    Children suddenly got a hell of a lot more interesting.

    And oh, congratulations, Auntie Hill! Also, she should tell you. C'mon now.

  12. Babies! It's so nice finally being in the baby club, and to have such good internet friends also expecting is icing on the cake. (Alexa of Flotsam is also expecting!)
