Oh Baby!

This is going to be the year of the Baby Showers- mine NOT included. A bunch of my friends are pregnant and although kids are nice and dandy, Chad and I aren't there yet. I feel enough pressure from my soon approaching 30th and the general feeling of Getting Older. This doesn't stop the people from asking when we will be popping out any kiddos though. I think it encourages them ... including my Grandmother.


Gerorgiana, Georgie, Memere, Meme, The Meems. She is a 95 year young woman who is the matriarch of my Mother's side of the family. Meme is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She even has a nice way of telling people where to shove it. "That's a nice."

Being a wise old woman with no filter, she asked me recently when I called her to say hello, "Are you calling to tell me your pregnant?" I replied, "No Meme, I'm not pregnant. Chad and I aren't ready to have kids yet." The spit fire says in French Canadian accent, "Well, why not? What are you waiting for? You aren't getting any younger. You know, I was 26 when I got married and that was old in those days. When are you going to give me some great-grand kids? I want more great-grand children."

Thank you Meme for putting it all in perspective. I'm surprised she didn't tell me "That's a nice".
