Life...

3 of us desperately sat in a bar on February 14th 2007, on a very bad snow storm evening, watching 2 friends play in a band, while bitching about the lack of men in our lives. All 3 of us where desperate...



During a break, one of our friend from the band, Pat, came and chatted with us. In an attempt to boost our morale, he proclamed that from what we knew, in a year, we'd all have a man in our life and we'd all be talking about houses and babies.



Where are we, 2 1/2 years later?



Well...



One found the man, got the house and is currently trying for baby # 2.



One found the man (well, got her man back...), got the house and is due to deliver her first baby in about 8 weeks.



One got the man, got the house and is planning on starting a familly real soon.



I guess Pat wasn't that far from reality after all.



Funny how life works, isn't it ?

Facts

- There is still 8 weeks to go before the smurf makes it's appearance.

- I have been eating shepherd's pie for lunch and diner for the last 4 days. I apparently can't get enough of the stuff. Weird.

- We've been attacking and playing with the baby's feet. Hey ! the smurf if attacking my ribs and bladder; I've definitely earned the rights to grab it's feet from time to time.

- I've been having contractions for the past 6 days. Something tells me I'll definitely have an epidural when it's finally time to deliver...

- Speaking of contractions: Moka has been following me everywhere since they first started. Everywhere. Even in the bathroom ! She keeps going into the baby's room and sniff everything and is now sleeping cramped in between a wall and the stroller.

- I've been having the weirdest dreams lately. Last night's ? I was in full on labor and delivered 4 puppies. Hum...

Oh oh...

I'm screwed.



I discovered the joy of maternity leggins.



Anything else as magical as those I should know about?

Really ?

Conversation we had over lunch this weekend:




Guy: I'm positive you'll be having a girl

Bob and I: Really ? How come ??

Guy: Well, women pregnant with girls stay cute. Women expecting boys become butt ugly.

Bob and I: ?????????????

Guy: I'm telling you !

Me, trying to stay focussed: I recall your fiancee is also expecting ! Do you know the gender ?

Guy: Yeah. A boy.



JERK.



I actually had to leave the table.



He should know by now: don't piss off a pregnant lady. Just don't.



Bob and I happen to actually believe that all pregnant women are beautiful. Each in their own way. Something to do with the glow... and the belly !
