Baby Bellies Everywhere

Tonight I went to a large Junior League event, and it seemed like every where I looked there was another pregnant woman, including the woman I manned a booth with for two hours. There were pregnant women pushing strollers, pregnant women with toddlers draped across them, pregnant women about to give birth any day, and even a teeny, tiny pregnant woman who told us she was only 14 weeks along.

I guess I'm just at that stage of life where most women in my age bracket are pregnant, either for the first time or the third or fourth. It's not so unusual, I guess. After all women have been pregnant since the creation of mankind, but when it's your generation - your friends - it seems both miraculous and crazy.

On Saturday night A and I had dinner with C, Teri and Adam and Adam is suddenly this whole person you can have conversations with. It's amazing, but also strange. A good friend gave birth to her first son last month, and two of my close friends are prenant right this moment - one about to give birth any dayand the other in her second trimester with twins (twins!), and it's all so exciting and grown up. When did all this happen?
