In the last week alone I’ve had four pregnancy announcements among those I know well and countless others among those I vaguely know. There’s been excitement, trepidation (it’s still early days for some), hugs, happy phone calls, and tiny little peanut shapes on black and white scan photos. Each time I told my husband about these people’s respective pregnancies, he gave me the ‘look’. You know the one. The one that says ‘Are you going to turn around and tell me you want to have another baby because people around you are having babies?’ And while the answer isn’t a resounding ‘YES!’ for reasons I’ll now divulge, he’s not entirely off the mark.
