it's official: everyone is pregnant

bumped into a cousin on the subway this morning; she told me that another cousin of ours - we went to her wedding almost two years ago - just had a baby girl! no one even knew she was knocked up! (she lives in another city, obviously) also, a co-worker (who is also in our larger circle of friends, whom her boyfriend has been connected to for a decade) confessed this morning that she is ten weeks along! it was all i could do not to say "me too!" she is anxious due to spotting, and i tried to offer a bit of comfort and encouragement. wow. just wow.

in other news, i have the best husband in the world. yesterday after work he went shopping and bought me all sorts of healthy foods that i like and that the midwife recommended as good sources of calcium and whatnot. what a sweetie!
