It's begun

[moominmolly]

It took a while, but here it is. Ranging from the subtle:

"Gee, Molly, last November you bought your first car. This November, you guys bought a house. What are you planning for next year?"

...to the less-than-subtle:

[Stuart puts a napkin on his head.]
Me: Hah!
Rob: You guys want one?

I don't expect it to end any time soon.

Stuart is pretty damn cute, though. He has a bunch of baby-sign memorized, so he can tell you when he wants a bath, or if he's hungry or needs a change or something. That's got to eliminate a lot of frustration on both sides.

lhn should post some of his reports from the front lines. His family is so baby-crazy, he can't touch one of his infant relatives without showers of...ahem...encouragement to reproduce. I thought I was safe from this sort of thing, being a male homosexual and all, but my sister periodically reminds me, "That doesn't mean you can't adopt!"

On that note, I may be on my way to becoming an uncle all over again! We find out tomorrow. I hope so, because it would mean so much to my sister, who is the best mother any of us have ever seen.

Heh. We hadn't gotten any pressure until just now, when I was told to produce a bass forthwith, as we all appear to be tenors.

Gee, the one who appears to be the most eager for little ones in my imediate family seems to be Graeme. And now that we have a dog the hopeful looks seem to have increased. :) Everyone else is content to sit back and listen to me and Graeme haggle over when it's going to happen. We've been "In a year"ing for the last two years. We get more realistic the longer we wait and now the tune has been changed to "in two years" or "6 months after your back tattoo is done" (No babies with new ink floating around in my bloodstream).

Want baby!

This sounds like "want baby".

Which sounds like the 11yr-old "want pie" kid at my brother's party. He expected me to bake/procur it. Wonder if he would have been happy with a gluten-free pie!

He didn't seem to want to make it himself. He was quite annoying about it, and didn't seem to have any idea of the work which went into making an actual pie.
Perhaps whenever you get "want baby", you could respond "want pie".
