So when we got pregnant seven months ago, we didn't have any friends with babies. None. And people started telling us, "Just wait. As soon as you have a kid, you'll make friends with lots of people who have babies." Yeah, right, we thought. Like these people would just magically drop into our life.
Well... we were wrong, and those people with the advice were correct. We had a baby/toddler-centered weekend, something that would have NEVER happened last year at this time.
On Saturday we attended lunch at our Rabbi's house, who is pregnant and has a toddler of her own. And there was another two-year old and his mom present, and a couple who is due in two weeks, and another couple named David and Sarah who have a 6 month old. Babies, babies, everywhere. Dave was so overwhelmed he insisted we drive straight to Babies R Us and pick up our new crib.
Then last night we hosted our annual Oscar Party, and our friends Jason and Kira brought Silas, age two weeks, who is tiny and sleeps a lot. Purna the cat really liked his car seat. Babies, babies, everywhere. I was so overwhelmed I went to sleep and dreamed of our baby's first birthday, with all those little people present. How great that you can be born into this world and already have friends!

I had only 2 friends with kids. Until I got pregnant. There are
*9* guys at fiance's work (out of about 120 total employees) - 5 in his little group alone - that are expecting little ones in the next 3 months.
What is in the water here?
