"I am four months pregnant", so one of my old friends told me through phone. Wow, things are happening but with joyful notice! I am so happy for her. It is not surprising that many that I know who are younger than me are already mothers. But she, a good friend since teenage and who is also one month younger than me is expecting a baby this May. Sounds like I am competing ... Maybe yes, maybe not...
Kind of think that most parts of getting a child is to fulfill social responsibility, otherwise why would many governments especially developed countries are encouraging their citizens to have more children by providing them some nice benefits. Such as the case in Germany, the government has a new policy that from 2007, every child who born in Germany gets 28,000 euro for the first three years of life. The funny thing was that some women in Germany whose expecting date were around 1st Jan 2007 'were fighting to' give girth in the new year.
I don't know when I will have a kid or two, or even none. My life still goes on...
Best wishes to those mother and would-be mother friends. Hope you enjoy your parenthood and enjoy watching your kids growing up, but more importantly enjoy yourself.
