I am 25. Single and living with roommates, not where I thought I'd be in life as I discussed with one of my roommates last night BUT I'm pleasantly comfortable with my "situation." I am faithful and don't believe that I will forever be the bridesmaid and never the bride though if I ever have a chance to be on camera I could probably do a jam up job to a sequel of 27 Dresses, be best supporting actress in Bridezillas, and/or do a pretty good spoof on "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" titled "My Large Southern Lebanese Wedding."
I've got the wedding thing down and still have years to go before my springs will be mine again. I've gotten to the point now with weddings that I'm sometimes sad when they're over - call me crazy but you spend a year with people who you never get to see again after the knot is tied. I decided that wedding traditions should be amended, near their first anniversary, all couples should throw a reunion party just to thank everyone for dealing with them during their wedding and so you can see that hot groomsman who walked you down the aisle in case he broke up with his girlfriend over the past year! I'm just sayin'!
So now that the wedding thing is down, I'm starting to learn about the baby thing. It seems to me that all pregnant women ever say to me is, "Nobody tells you this about pregnancy!" We all get the big boobs and bellies, the weird cravings, the pea size bladder because we see it with our own eyes. No one tells you about the hidden, behind the scenes pregnancy part that happens when you go to the hospital. I am just now able to really talk about it, my friends asked me to be in the room during the birth of their baby. Now, you hear stories but let me tell you this when I have a baby it will be like the movies. There will be a sheet up and my husband will not go on the other side of it. No cameras will be present until the child is cleaned up and in my arms and there will be no residents or medical students doing hands on learning that day likely no observations either! I'm not going to tell you what I learned about pregnancy because you might not need to know but I will tell you, when a pregnant woman tells you a story you should consider it a parable - there is a hidden message in her words!
