Hmm. I'm not entirely sure if it is my right to announce this, or if this is the medium to do it, but I figure since nobody reads this anyway... can't hurt. ;)



Found out yesterday that Molly and Grant are having a girl. :) Congratulations guys! I'm very excited for them and I know, deep-down, Molly wanted a girl! So she is excited too. Not that she wasn't before! ;)



Five months to go until she arrives! :)



On two semi-related sidenotes...



1. I was right. ;) I knew Lindsay was having a girl, and I knew Molly is having a girl too. :D So far on this year's predictions, I have been right twice and wrong once. One more is due in July. I am predicting that one will be a boy, but we'll see.

(...Hey, when you're not pregnant but you know people who are, you've got to find something to amuse yourself, right? Something besides buying out Toys R Us?) ;)



2. Of late, I am developing a realization that I honestly wouldn't mind having a dozen kids or so. This may have something to do with the fact that I just read "Cheaper by the Dozen". ;) And the argument about birth control on the message board I read. But yeah. Twelve is a nice round number. :P



Luckily it'll be a while before I'm reproducing (assuming I do at all). For now I'm quite contented to visit other people's babies... and learn how to interact with other people's babies... I don't think I'm bad with kids but at the same time I don't think I'm really a natural at it either. Or maybe it just depends on who the parents are. If I don't know the parents very well then I feel more awkward handling their baby. I didn't have any problems holding Meghan Arnold, for example, since I knew her whole family for years before she was born. And I don't anticipate feeling uneasy around Molly's daughter (Molly's daughter! How neat is that!) since Molly is one of my bestest girls. So, mostly I think I am making a little stink over nothing here. ;)



There ARE people who are comfortable around all babies, regardless of who they belong to... Molly is like that. I am not. But whatever. I don't think it matters. :)



Point is... I am excited about seeing Molly this weekend in all her pregnant happiness. And I'm very happy for her that she is having the daughter she has dreamed about for so long. I'll have to spoil her with some frilly girly dresses. But something tells me all Molly's sisters (and stepsisters and sisters-in-law and mothers and grandmothers and aunts and cousins) will have that pretty well covered. :)



I have missed my girls! Yay weekend!



PS Hehe, you know who is the best at finding adorable baby outfits? Particularly little frilly dresses? Maybe I shouldn't say... wouldn't want to embarrass him too much. :D
