Baby Boom

Apparently there is a baby boom here this year. Now I am not so sure it should be called a boom, considering our age. It isn't uncommon for married (or not) couples to conceive in their late 20's, early 30's. Seeing as that is the age gap (yes, I hate to admit it) that I fall into, shouldn't it just be normal to think everyone and their dog are having babies? (Thankfully my dog is not having babies, dog sitting her "brother" is more than enough for me)

So regardless if there is actually a baby boom or not, there seem to be a lot of people that I know having babies this year. Now unfortunately none of my close friends or family fall into this group. The reason I bring this up is that, I feel that just because you have children together doesn't mean you all of a sudden must be best friends. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for me I am pretty picky with my friends. I don't like a whole lot of people. Don't get me wrong, I am not Cruella Deville, I don't go around hating on the world. I just like to spend time with people that I have things in common with.

Now I may be naive here, but just because I have a child, doesn't mean I lose myself. It also doesn't mean I start befriending every mom or mom to be out there. Especially if I would turn the street corner had I seen them coming 4 months ago!

So friends, all three of you that read this, please remind me of this in 5 months!
