My e-friend Jenn gave birth earlier this month. So did my e-turned-real-life friend Danielle. I see pictures of their fleshy newborn bundles of ooey gooey baby goodness and I go 'awwww'!
My e-friend Brittney is (over)due any day now. My friend H is 28 weeks pregnant (so is my e-friend Nat) and another friend is so freshly pregnant that ginger ale is her new best friend. Not to even mention all the prego bellies I see on Sundays. I think about that expectant state, awaiting a bundle of brand new, itty bitty fleshy goodness and I go 'awwww'! (except the ginger ale part, that is.)
Then, we watch videos from when C was just a tiny one-month old, what with his chubbery cheeks (!) and all that hair (!) and that little face (!). And I go 'awwww'!
And yet. . .
and yet,
2009 was the year of the baby
2010 is the year of the Masters
2011 will be the year of the start-up (not the fleshy newborn kind)
Besides. . .
technically, I have an 8-month old's squooshy face to munch all over and completely adore until the clock ticks and he suddenly decides he's tired of me.
Then maybe it'll be time for another one?

this is my first time checking our your blog and i love it! you're so good at writing, i'm so impressed! thanks for your words about motherhood, love it!
woot for e-friends.
Just you wait until you see my birth video. It's almost done.
And I'm a believer in it isn't on my time table. We were going to wait three years before we had another and now I have a three week old two and half years sooner than expected. She wouldn't leave me alone. She knew it was her time. And I had to get ready really fast.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
