a new generation

at this moment, six of my friends are pregnant. there are actually a few more than that in the jamaat, but of people i know well, in chicago and elsewhere, six are expecting. it's awesome- i feel that the next few years will be full of pregnancy announcements, and everyone will go through this stage of life somewhat at the same time. just as all of our weddings coincided more or less within a few years; the last few years have brought 9 weddings, and the next few will bring even more.

here in chicago, there are about 30 of us who are about the same age (the age difference being about 4 or 5 years from youngest to oldest) and that means 22 to 28 years ago, all of our mothers must have been pregnant at the same time. all these aunties- young together, pregnant together, running after toddlers together.

history seems to be repeating itself. as usual, i guess.

(no predictable comments, please, about me joining the P team...)

Too funny.

I'm going through the same phase. Two years of marriage, and just because it's a fad to have a baby now, I want one too! There was the engagement phase, marriage phase, and now baby phase.

Can we go back to Hi-Tops fad instead?
At least with that, we can walk in and walk out with them, in one easy swoop.
