Babies Babies Babies

I’m surrounded by preggos.  One friend at work just had a baby girl and three others are pregnant with boys (due in December, January, and March).  My sister is also due to have a baby girl any old day now, as is a cousin down in Florida.  It’s fun.  It’s also been great to remove all baby stuff from our house and deposit it to others in need.

I say this because, looking for something to say today, I skimmed my October 2007 archives, and they mostly consist of pregnancy posts.  Cravings, sickness, worries, surprise that I was already preg at our first anniversary.  Lord, what a blessing Jack is, but what a shock we had!  It all seems so long ago now.  Though a slightly more seasoned parent, still in the early days where the work is largely physical rather than mental, I still occasionally feel some shock.   It’s like we were hit with a truck – BAM! – three boys.  There were long days in there, and long and winding years, and yet I so clearly recall October 2007, before I had to get a sitter to go anywhere or do anything.  If you had told me then . . . three boys.  Man.  I’d never have guessed.
