I know 23 people who, in the timeframe of December 2009 to December 2010, have had a baby. One had twins, so that's 24 babies. 24. Babies. I am surrounded. And mildly frightened. (This morning I came in to work to have my very pregnant coworker casually remark that she's having contractions and not to worry if she's breathing hard. WHA!?! Not worry?? I think she'll might rip my vocal cords out from sheer annoyance from me asking her "are you ok? how do you feel?")
Granted, most of these babies are casual friends, coworkers, acquaintences or far away so they don't have much impact on my life other than a zillion facebook pictures of ultrasounds and newborns (cute teensy toes! Love 'em!). In reality only three are directly in my path- my childhood friend Katie's little boy Carson, our friend's, the Massies, little girl Isla and now my coworker/friend Crystal's "little man" [insert name here] who will be crashing our girl's nights once he decides to enter this world. (Note: I decided to add pics later and "little man" decided to be born. Evan!)

It's a sincere pleasure to be able to cuddle and test the baby waters with these wondrous mini people but man-o-man are babies scary sometimes. So don't hold your breath for the Blumlings. I'm very content living vicariously through the babies around me at this time. Just throwing it out there.
