Is Everyone Pregnant?

As if it isn't bad enough that all of Hollywood is pregnant these days... It seems that all of my friends are too. Of course, not that it's a bad thing. It just seems that pregnant women are all around me these days.

First it was Hollywood and celebrities everywhere. From Christina Aguilera to Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie... Jamie-Lynn Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Alba, and J.Lo. The celeb mags these days have been on super baby bump watch.

Then came my friends. First it was T, which was a HUGE surprise. She looks really pretty pregnant though, and I can't wait to see the baby when he comes. Then, my friend K from Charlotte found out she was preggers and is due in December. This will also be her second child. And yesterday, I got an email from K from Nashville that she just found out she is pregnant also! This is her first though, and she has been trying for some time.

I am so excited for my friends that are pregnant, believe me. I am thinking of them everyday and praying that they will be safe and have healthy babies. It just feels lately as if everyone is pregnant! I guess this starts to happen to you as you get into your thirties anyway. It makes sense that my friends are having babies.

Inevitably, it brings the baby question to my mind as well. Sometimes I wonder if I even want children at all, but then when I seriously consider never having a child, I know that I really do want one. Just not yet. They say that you can never really be "ready" for a child, but Lord knows I can be more ready than I am now. I'll at least wait until I'm married first.
