My mum is heading to Venice.
G. is at work.
I'm at home on my own.
Pictures of big boy everywhere. He constantly keeps an eye on me, I know that.
Yesterday I got a phone call from R.
Hey, I would have preferred to see you but... we didn't make it so: I'm pregnant with twins
with twins??
Yeah!
Twins in the family? I didn't know it!
Yes, my grandma.
Oh my God, R.! I can't believe it. This is wonderful news.
It is. We are quite thrilled and a bit scared to be honest but yeah, I just wanted to share the news with you.
She is 37 and had a brain tumor a few years ago so... I didn't expect the news. R and S. are lovely people and I'm so happy for them even though I hate being surrounded by pregnant women. Sometimes I can't stand it because the underlying question is: and you? And me... what? It's just not happening AND it's not "socially required". It seems that the vast majority of women I know are either pregnant or have kids. Well, this is not entirely true. Some of them are not expecting and don't think about pregnancy.
Anyway, it's not happening. Period. It's ok. I'm (almost) fine with it. I just don't like to be asked about it.
So: R. is pregnant, E. is pregnant, L. just had a baby boy.
I am NOT expecting and this is OK. please stop thinking/asking about it. We are fine.
Mam, yes mam! :-)

peace......
p.s. have you ready the trilogy, 'fifty shades of gray'? I am on book 2, OMG!!
yes!
ReplyDeletefinished book #1.
And yes: OMG :D
1. Well, I'm not pregnant either, so there's you and me and, I suspect, Gail. Gail? And I absolutely refuse to get pregnant.
ReplyDelete2. And I AM NOT going to read that book. It seems to me a little like the Dan Brown thing.
Right, you're not pregnant... yet ;-)
ReplyDeleteahhahhha
Sometimes I have moments of sadness but things get back to normal pretty soon. :-)
And you know that I prefer dogs to children
Here's another one. People stop asking me when they see my expression in response to what I consider a violation of my privacy. And I prefer dogs to children too ;-)
