I am SO excited!! My friend and her hubby stopped by tonight to give Tink a belated birthday present since they missed her party. They broke the news that they are expecting. They have been trying for a while and it has finally happened for them. They are married, they work, they are prepared. Like I said, so excited!
Honestly, it was such a relief to find out about a pregnancy that I can be happy about. I realize how that sounds, but it is so true. The last baby shower I went to was horrible. The mom to be is a girl that I work with. She started having an affair with a guy at work. She is in her mid twenties and he is in his mid forties. He is also married, for like the 4th time. He has kids, he has grand kids. This girl is so excited to be having a baby...to be having his baby. I tried as hard as I could to find the perfect "I can't believe you are dumb enough to get pregnant by a married man, and stupid enough to think you will be the ONE woman that he stays with" gift. Obviously I couldn't find one of those so I just bought her a visa gift card. She'll probably end up needing the money later.
Following the news of the bimbo at work's pregnancy came news of 5 more pregnancies at work. All accidents. A couple of the girls don't have health insurance since they cannot afford it. To me that is a glaring warning that you should wait to have a baby. If you have to go on MedicAid to get prenatal care you are going to be screwed when it comes to providing for your baby.
I am sitting here waiting for Parenthood to start; the television show. LOL I have spent the last hour watching 16 and pregnant. Is it just me, or is this the worst show out there? Regardless of the argument that the show "makes other teens aware of how difficult teen pregnancy is," the truth is that it makes celebrities out of teenagers who get knocked up in high school.
I guess that is enough ranting for one night. I'm going to bed thankful for the fact that I can afford my babies and that I have my husband and family around for support. Goodnight Moon!
