It seems like anytime you want something, the universe takes every opportunity to put the thing you want in your path all the time!  

The best example of this would be when you are looking for or have just bought a new car.  Everywhere you go, that car is there…in the parking lots, in front of you on the road, everywhere!

I feel like this has been happening to me lately, just not with a certain type of car, but with babies and pregnant women!

Please don’t get me wrong…I love babies and women who are preggers (especially ones I know), but sometimes enough is enough!

Matt and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 4 months.  I know and realize that this is still not an amount of time that should cause concern, but to me it seems like a long time.  I am not worried, not stressed, and not concerned, but it is something that I am really wanting to happen (obviously)!

So, back to the universe…Every woman in our family that is married and wanting to have a baby (whether it is their first or second) is either pregnant or has just given birth:

Cousin ~ had baby #2 in July

Sister-in-law ~ due in October

Cousin ~ due in November

Step-sister-in-law ~ due in January

Step-sister-in-law #2 ~ pregnant with baby #2 and due in May

It is really pretty crazy that there are so many babies making their way into our family over the next few months, and I really could not be happier for all of the mommy-to-be’s in the family!  We are definitely going to need a few table extensions over the next few years for family dinners!

Until it is our turn, I will get my baby fix vicariously through all of the above women and their offspring!  And I will continue to enjoy cocktails and practicing!
