My best friend is pregnant! :biggrin: Wow! She told me this weekend ... she's only 6 weeks along and only her husband and her mom (and now me) know about it. They're going to wait another month or so before telling everyone else. I wonder why this feels so strange to me? It's even more weird than when my brother and sister-in-law told us they were having a baby -- maybe because he's older than me it just seemed normal. But for my best friend, the girl I used to have sleepovers with when we were little kids -- for her to be having a baby??? :uhh: I am so excited for her :hug: -- they've been trying for about 9 months to get pregnant -- and so they are just on-top-of-the-world excited about it. I guess it just makes me realize that we ARE grown ups now. Maybe it's different with her than with my brother because we're the same age, we got married within a year and a half of each other -- and now she's having a baby! Woah! For several years now, it's been like a wedding festival -- everyone getting married and wedding showers practically every other month. I guess now the tide is changing ... now we'll be having
Do you still feel the same as you did a few years ago? I do, i mean i'm getting married next year, K and i are thinking about getting a house and planning for the future ... all the grown up things, but i don't feel grown up. I'll probably feel this way in 10 years :wide-eyed:
I feel a bit more grown up now than I did before I got married -- and even more so since buying our house. Investing that much money in something is a sure way to make you look at your life and future! But there are still times that I am still just a kid - leaving my clothes laying all over the house, forgetting to eat dinner, spending too much money on yet another pair of shoes, etc. -- but 2.5 years of marriage and house-buying are definitely two things that have made me more grown up than I was a few years back. Interestingly enough, my brother says having a baby doesn't make you feel grown up either ... he says it just makes you feel even more than you are so unprepared for how much responsibility you feel for that one little life and how you want so much for them, and you wonder how you'll ever be able to do it all -- but then of course he says he wouldn't give it up for all the world. I wonder if our parents feel like grown ups yet? Does the grown up feeling come when you're 50? When all the kids are out of the house and it's just you again? Who knows!!
Congrats to your friend! :dance: I went through the "marriage-cycle" with my friends, where it seems there's one bridal shower and wedding after another. Now we're in the "baby-cycle". It's just a matter of time. :)
I know what you mean Lacy. I'm going to a wedding the Saturday after next and then I'm getting married next June. A few of my other friends are talking marriage too. I feel like we just graduated high school. LOL.
I'm afraid I can't really relate to everyone I know getting married but since me and my friends are graduating high school this may it definately feels like my childhood is coming to an end. :sad:
