is it something in the water?!

Woooo. My head is whirling.
My friend L is 14 weeks’ pregnant. This is fantastic – she and her hubby A have been trying for about a year, so it’s great news, and they’re very happy. She only told me a couple of weeks ago, when she saw me, so it’s all fairly new to me.
L is the younger sister of M. I met M in Year 8. We shared a homeroom and Italian class together, and we’ve been friends ever since. Anyhow, at girls’ dinner tonight, M informs us that a) she’s 6 weeks’ pregnant, and b) she and her lovely man J are now engaged.
Apparently, they had decided to try getting pregnant, and when they did, they’d get engaged. Guess who fell pregnant in their first month of trying?!
As I said, my head’s whirling. I hope my mother doesn’t get any funny ideas that this means I’ll be trying to fall pregnant too. This is definitely not in the plan, at least for a while.
L’s baby is due on April 1 (yes, we all laughed too). M’s baby is due, well, eight weeks afterwards. I sense there are a lot of discussions about episiotemies and perineums in my future.
