In which I test the interwebs powersDecember 17th, 2007 @ 7:01 am
With Frema and my bestest friend May both ready to pop out baby girls, I’ve been thinking about babies. That’s pretty clear after reading yesterdays post about knowing when to get pregnant again. Or if to even get pregnant again.
Anyway…with all this baby talk, and with meeting the very pregnant Kathleen for lunch today, I’ve also thought about my own pregnancy with my Sweet Babboo. Dude, being pregnant sucks. You know, in case anyone was curious, yeah, it sucks.
I decided to go back and read Babboo’s birth story. I wrote it right after he was born, but for my own reason, I didn’t post it until his first birthday. It’s funny to reread your comments and be reminded how surprised we all were that I gave birth to a 9 lbs. 11 oz. baby.
Although who was I kidding, I was clearly carrying a huge bebe in my belly.
Then I found a post I wrote a few weeks before Babboo was born in which I lament about not wanting to give birth to a huge baby boy that would eventually turn out to be the size of my younger brother. I clearly state in the post that I don’t want to be “pushing out a 10 pound baby Amalah style”.
You can hear the collective laughs from the interweb with that post. I mean come on, you know I totally sealed my fate the second I hit “publish”. What in the h-e-double hockey sticks was I thinking with that one?
Clearly, I was not thinking.
Now I’m thinking there must be another post I could write to test and see if it would also come true. Like maybe say something like “dude, I would hate to win the lottery”, or “holy cow, I’d hate to get tickets to see the Old 97’s perform in Dallas for New Years Eve” or even better, “I would hate to have a good nights sleep. Yeah, sleep sucks.”
So in honor of Frema being in labor right.this.very.second let’s have no mention of huge babies. Let’s only talk about good things like the Old 97’s and winning the lottery.
Oh yeah, and sleep.

So does this mean that I need to write a post about NOT wanting to have my very own bebe in 2008?
Because seriously? With all of the bebes in blogland and real life I (well, I guess techinically WE) have decided it.is.time.
I will never speak of size. We’ve already had the big head conversation.

Once you start talking like this… you’re pregnant within about 4 months.

So funny - I read this AFTER I just read that Frema had an 11lb baby.

[...] First off, congrats are in order for Frema and Mr. Frema on their brand new little 11 lbs baby. I’m sort of afraid that I sealed her fate with my post yesterday. Gulp. Hey, sorry about that Frema. [...]

Just have to say it - it’s great to hear about (and see) all of these chubby cheeker babies! My two babies combined did not weigh what Kara did. Or what Baboo weighed either, for that matter. If I ever have another (which I won’t) I’m so going for a little pork roast. :o)
