Is another Baby-boom happening or is it just my imagination? Maybe in rural California there’s nothing better to do than copulate. Or family rearing is the newest hobby of most of the people I work around and have as friends. To give you a few examples: I’m presently knitting a baby’s blanket for my sister-in-law, Kirsty, who is due shortly. Trebeca, a close friend, just had a healthy baby girl – Go Talia!!!
At the elementary school I work at you’d think you can catch pregnancy like the common cold the way those mom’s pop out those kids! Like, this one little first grader, his mom had a 12-pounder three weeks ago! Armed with a adorable photo, this boy told the whole class how they had to “rip him out!” This explanation came complete with hand motions, making me laugh out loud, yet cringe at the same time. I mean, think about it folks, having a 12 pound baby is like giving birth to two babies at one time. Ouch.
I have to say it is a very beautiful baby; complete with chubby cheeks and thunder thighs (I mean it looks like it’s 3 months old!).
Chris did do something for the first time yesterday; HE was the one pointing out a baby to ME in Safeway and not the other way around. This baby was exceptionally cute and had ears that stuck out, so Chris felt they had a connection; Monkey ears.
The kicker in this baby-based blog is that TODAY my best friend Lara called and told me she was preggers, too! Something has to be in the water. She claims a romantic trip to Italy did the trick.
All I have to say is that I’ll never be out of a job as long as it’s working with the little people, ah, I mean the kids. Love, Christy
