Pregnant

39east_RB_SF100There was a rumor making the rounds at the wedding that I was already pregnant. Considering I woke up every morning with either a slight hangover or a full-on hangover, those rumors should be put to rest.

A friend said, “When you have a kid, your life is over.  I can’t remember the last time I did something for me—for me, Catherine.  And my girl is 3 years old.”

Yikes.  How can that kind of life be fulfilling?  That is really scary when you hear someone say her life was over once she had a child.

I won’t even entertain the thought of having a kid without a honeymoon.  I still have places to go, people to see, a life to live.  With so much vacation time, I’ve been pressuring Marc to plan a European trip.  He balked, saying he had too much going on.  I joked, “Fine, then I’ll get pregnant.”

He flipped.  “omg omg omg.  I SWEAR TO GOD CATHERINE: IF YOU GET PREGNANT BEFORE OUR 36TH BIRTHDAY I WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE HARDEST PREGNANCY KNOWN TO MAN.  AND THEN WISH TWIN GIRLS ON YOU.”
