Obviously, several dopers are not practicing safe hex. 😛 ---

And so much hair! \*\* Thanks, **flodnak** , we think she gets more beautiful every day! She is really a good baby–the first of my three kids who actually SLEEPS at night. I only have to get up with her once a night–it was usually THREE times with my other two! To all the PG dopers out there–congratulations! Keep us posted! I wish for all of you the joy we here are feeling! 😃 ---

OK, this is weird…same thing happening to me (not being pg, but having friends who are). Friend in college just walked up to me the other day and announced baby on the way. Complete shock to me. 1st baby, dad is mutual friends of my semi-ex. And, her younger sister…and the younger sister of a friend I babysit for sometimes. Who was pregnant earlier in the year but miscarried. Last fall a couple of acquaintances had babies, too, though, so I don’t think it’s neccessarily the time of year, at least not here. I like the word “preggers”. Makes me think of comfy stretch jersey overalls and sweatpants. 😉 Not much chance of _me_ being pregnant soon…at least I hope to God not as years of tough studying beckon! ---
