Someone strap me up and send me to the loony bin. Just when I thought all of this hullabaloo might come to an end something like this happens.Remember baby baby BABY MANIA? Well I forgot to mention that the fevah‘ wasn’t only targeting ordinary folks. Looks like “stars” are hopping on the baby train too. People I didn’t think were going to have kids anytime soon are expecting. I’m not one to keep up with the nonsense of celebrities, but apparently Jenny from the block is with twins and miss lovely Halle Berry is expecting her first. There’s also the unexpected-but-no-big-deal group of that Richie chick and Mrs. Aguilera (I think they’re all due around the same time -all of them, like it was a planned event).
Then I’m told something that’s just going to make me jump right over the gosh darn crib. The younger 16 year old Spears (Britney’s sister) is knocked up as well. I’m sure this news is causing many mothers a lot of trouble. Alhamdulilah my tween and younger cousins don’t watch spears’ show and although they know who she is, my aunt is not having too much trouble with this issue. But me? Yea, yea teen pregnancy is unfortunate as we’ve been told since we were old enough to know what a vagina is, but my initial reaction to all of this was “WHAT!? HER TOOOOOOOO? I need a drink -quick someone hand me apple juice and make it on the rocks.”What’s the date? The 20th? I thought to myself “Maybe we can make it through the last days of December pregnancy or birth announcement free” But now I know how naive that was. Because as stated by yours truly, this is the year of babies. No way of getting around that. The world is still going to sqeeze those little precious-esssss out until midnight Dec. 31.

As you may (or not) know, I really want kids. I’m not trying to become a first time mom at 5o or wait until after residency, but I have to wait just a little longer before I can join club motherhood. In the mean time it’s like the whole freakin‘ world is trying to tell me something! Everywhere I turn is a pregnant lady or a parenting magazine or those teeny-weeny baby clothes with the matching booties. So I get it world, I GET IT!
