well, maybe it is the new 29-thing talking, but I'm not so sure I want to have babies. I spent 3 hours at the house of some folks I know through work who had a baby a month ago. I was one of the first to learn of their pregnancy and watched the development enviously throughtout the months. I really did have moments where I wanted to be pregnant too...not that I'm trying, because I'm not.

For a few months in the spring and early summer, having babies (and avoiding having babies) was the hot topic for me and my girlfriends to talk about. Not once this evening did I get any pangs of "I want a baby". This is somewhat of a weird experience for me, because I used to really want to have babies. I was a weird little girl by some standards, and never dreamed of being married, and never really thought I'd be married, but I always imagined that I'd have a child. So here I am, with a husband...and I'm not sure I want a child.

tonight one of my sisters was encouraging me to "pop out some babies" so that my family would stop pestering her about not having a boyfriend. sorry, sis, I may not be able to help you with this one.

so I've entered that phase of life. weird.
