baby talk
last friday, i attended my friend's son's 1st birthday party. it was an extravagant event that was held in sofitel. the party had a circus theme. there was a carousel, those bouncing castles, booths where you can play games and earn tickets which you can exchange for prizes and loads of other stuff to make the affair more fun. it was truly an extravaganza as the invitation indicated. anyway, it was also a time for me and my college friends to meet up. and it seemed like an appropriate time to talk about babies.
so those are my closest college friends. two of them are married already and the other is planning to get married this year. two of them already have a child, but one lost hers due to a heart complication. she plans on having a baby soon, but it requires a lot of preparation due to her illness. she really wants to have a baby soon and has been going to the doctor to make sure that when she conceives, the baby won't have any health problems. my friend who has a child recently found out that she's 5 weeks pregnant. i don't think they planned it, but they welcome the pregnancy and are quite excited about it. my unmarried friend is also 13 weeks pregnant (i think). it isn't planned, but she's really happy about it. it's quite funny how she talks about the changes she's undergoing. so that leaves me. i have no plans of having a baby anytime soon. and i don't think i have any plans of having my own baby.
having a baby is a lot of work. i know this firsthand cause i live with so many children of different ages. i think having a child of your own is a wonderful thing, but i don't think it's for me. i'm happy taking care and playing with my nephews and nieces, but they don't make me want a child of my own. and anyway, i can barely take care of myself what more a child. i'd probably change my mind in the future, but as of now, i'm happy being a doting (and sometimes annoying) uncle to my nephews and nieces.
