My husband and I apparently missed the baby boat.\u00a0 Or in our case, we jumped ship too early.\u00a0 As it turns out, we know 17<\/strong><\/span> couples that are expecting their first child between now and August.\u00a0 Apparently the Mayans had it all wrong.\u00a0 2012 is the year of the baby!\u00a0 I guess this shouldn’t surprise me since we attended 12 weddings in 2009 (including our own), 14 weddings in 2010 and 7 weddings this past year.\u00a0 As well, we’re (hopefully) expecting\u00a0to receive some\u00a0additional baby news from\u00a0more of our friends.\u00a0 Let the baby showers begin \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kyle (12 weeks pregnant)<\/p><\/div>\n

Granted, of the 17 couples we know,\u00a0six are acquaintances,\u00a0four live out of country and one lives out of province.<\/p>\n

There are of course pros and cons to this.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle will be between a year and a half to almost two years older than most of these babies.\u00a0 That means, after their birth, it’ll be another year and\u00a0a half at least until Kyle will have more “play friends”.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    We don’t need to look for new friends!<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Our\u00a0friends will finally understand what my blog posts and baby ramblings mean.<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/a>

    www.lunch.com<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course I’m just kidding.\u00a0 It will all be positive!\u00a0 We’re so excited and happy for our family and friends to begin this new journey of their lives.\u00a0 We love every second with Kyle and we wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world.\u00a0 If anything, this is making me think that we should start thinking about baby #2 soon!*<\/p>\n

    PS. As of posting date, three of our friends had their baby. Congrats to Sari and Scott on the birth of their son, Katie and Pete on the birth of their daughter and Carmi and Jeremy on the birth of their daughter.<\/p>\n
