baby baby baby

it seems like every couple of weeks there's another announcement that someone pregnant. i'm officially declaring it the "year of the babies". a few years ago i declared it the "year of the weddings". it seemed like everyone i knew was getting married and i was flying here there and everywhere for weddings every few weekends. i became a pro-wedding-gift-shopper. now i guess i'll have to tweak my shopping skills to baby gifts. no problem there. i look forward spending hours upon hours perusing all the baby stores exclaiming "oh, that is sooo cute".
