babies?
Lately I've been nesting so hard that I've been considering, for only the 2nd time in the twelve years since I saw a video of a birth in health class, getting pregnant. In fact, it sounds kind of good. I still want Lauren to do it first, but right now, I want to have a baby.
(Don't panic. I'll snap out of it in a month or so. I did last time.)
Seriously, all I want is a baby. Badly enough that I was going to apply for a secretary job at Oberlin so that we could start saving money, but I had to apply in person and the deadline was last Friday.
Anyway, it seems that everywhere I look, I see babies. The most recent is that I decided, for some ridiculous reason, to read the monthly newsletters that Heather at dooce.com writes to her baby, since I just started reading her site a month ago.
I'm alternating between wanting to cry my eyes out and wanting to buy a bunch of pregnancy and parenting books. And we haven't even bought that LGBT guide to legal issues book yet that's been in the plans for 9 months now.
Babies everywhere. I want one. Or four. Seriously. Now.
I wouldn't complain about a house with an updated cottage kitchen, lots of windows, and a big front porch and backyard, either.
