Baby talk.

After being married for over 2 years, its hard as it is to dodge people who judge you if you don't decide to occupy your life with a baby and to make it more torturous,you have other couple friends who already got pregnant in their first trimester after their wedding.

So when my new married and pregnant or already delivered friends asked me to join them for lunch on a saturday afternoon, I knew that this was going to be a conversation where i'll have to fake smile and put all my knowledge of watching 'A baby story' on discovery to great use.

So the conversations were all about the best playschools,the ideal pampers, the first signs of cold and other deseases that they can catch at the creche, the breastfeeding and the advantages of it...and it went on and on while I quietly relished on my pesto pasta wishing that I have come up with one of my excuses which could be a manicure appointment or cooking for the husband, maybe even with a fake fever . But no excuse could be stronger than "a baby emergency" one. Every one of these friends of mine used it.

And before you know it, lunch dates are being cancelled,have to re-schedule shopping days, everything is accoding to feeding time or school time. I'm aware that you do tend to revolve your days and time around the infants but truthfully..

So are babies an excuse for every woman to cut off from their non-pregnant or their single friends? A part of me hopes not..but a part of me seriously hopes it is.
