Babies in triplicate
A friend of mine (who will remain nameless for the time being) just broke the news to me that he’s going to be a father. This just two weeks after our big announcement about Zee.
My wife would like to attribute it to “something in the water” but I know what it really is - competition. When I mentioned to the guy that we were ahead by at least 3 weeks he threatened to “go premature” on our ass. What a cheater!
This on top of finding out another family member has a little one on the way (albeit unexpectedly but hey - a gift is a gift). That makes three babies in the hopper. I’ve always felt that every significant thing happens in threes (I’m not alone in this as Google points out) - three deaths, three births, three disasters. I’m sure my perception is skewing reality a bit here, but you get the idea. Now if only 2 people connected to me would hit the lottery…

[...] It’s official: we are in a baby arms race (not really - racing the arms of babies would be creepy). Our baby-making rivals (you may remember them from this post) the Huttons have gone live with their baby-to-be website. He’s one-upped newplew.com with a baby countdown image from lillypie.com as well as parent bios, ultrasound images, and wedding pictures. [...]
