It’s like they’re falling from the sky! Lately Jess and I have been inundated by the arrival of babies and the announcement of pregnancies. I guess we’re at that age. We both have work people who just had babies. I have 2 first cousins that are expecting, and most importantly, Jessica and I will be aunts again in mid-March 2010! (Yay Allyson and Matt!) All in all, I know 8 people/couples who have had or are going to have a baby. What’s really kind of crazy is of all of those babies, only one is a girl! 7 boys, 1 girl. What are the odds? You might be wondering why I’m sharing this information. It’s not that I’m upset by the obscene number of showers I have to attend. (To be honest, I think I’m going to make it out with only 3!) The reason I feel this is a blog-worthy topic is that my darling wife has baby fever. I swear the phrase, “Let’s have babies!” comes out of her mouth at least once a day. At first I thought it was sweet. She had kind of been on the fence about the whole babies thing. They cry, they smell bad, and all they really do is sleep when they’re newborn. That doesn’t quite fit into Sporty Spice’s (that’s Jess) repertoire. But now they do. She has now held several babies and has convinced herself that she wants one. Thankfully we both realize that we are not in the financial state to seriously consider having a child, nor are we ready emotionally. There’s way too much to see and do in this lifetime, and we’ve barely begun! We will have a family one day. Just not any time soon. For now we’ll have to focus our attention on Cole and prepare for the arrival of Jacob! (Or whatever name Allyson and Matt end up going with.) : ) -Addison
