Friend's baby shower was yesterday. Lovely luncheon, lovely people. Eight people total, of whom 3 (including the guest of honor) were pregnant. First baby for all. Of the non-preggos, only the hostess and I have children.
One of the preggos, who is 28 weeks, held forth at great length about how this baby is not going to change her H's and her lives. They're very busy, you see, and they hate how everyone they know suddenly doesn't go out as much once they have a kid, so They! Will! Be! Different! Memorable quotes include "I've seen those baby carriers with the handle, so we figure we'll just carry it around in that and it can go wherever," and "This baby is going to fit into our lives, not the other way around."
Oh, childless people. I was one of you once, about 14 months and a million years ago. I knew just how everything was going to be, and what our Important Parenting Philosophies were, and also how we knew better than other people how to live with a newborn.
I thought it was hilarious because the preggos sounded so much like me before DD, and listening to them now, I could see how much things have changed in the span of a year. When I got home, I told DH about 28 Weeker and he literally LOLed at "This baby is going to fit into our lives, not the other way around."
