Baby time!
So, an alarming number of my friends are pregnant, engaged or otherwise growing up these days.
My good friend Jen has been heavily, heavily, pregnant for some weeks now and we realised this morning that her husband wasn't online on the work email system which meant he wasn't in the office. We knew what that meant!
Sure enough, Jen had tiny (8lb 5oz) baby Nathan (name correctly identified by yours truly out of ten contenders) very early this morning, a day which auspiciously also happens to be payday.
I love Jen but her baby seems to have cost me more than it will cost her. A 'congrats on getting knocked up' present, an office whipround for the baby, plus a private OTC scavenge-from-contacts-in-other-departments babyshower, and now it seems it is necessary to send her flowers, and a balloon, and some chocolates (we decided against champagne as Jen is the sort to neck it in the delivery suite and then try and breastfeed) to congratulate her on dropping it suceessfully.
Seriously, this is definitely the way forward! I went to the doctor this morning for a repeat prescription of the Pill and nearly told him to forget it. Time off and a shedload of awesome tiny presents? Winner!

My best mate's wife just dropped hers yesterday, 15 hours in labour, birthing pool, drips, the lot and then they gave her the c-section anyway...
It's not all a barrel of laughs!
Baby girl btw, and Mum is doing well too!
