The Little Boy at the Beach.

Enough with the Political Videos, Movie Reviews and True Stories about clients being dickwads. I'm going personal tonight.

A couple of weeks ago my boyfriend and I were sitting on the beach, just soaking up the sun and doing absolutely nothing. Walking in the sand were a father and a little boy. We sat in silence looking at them, listening to the little boy call out for daddy and being all cute and lovely... And suddenly we started talking about how great it would be if we had one.

Let me bactrack a bit... (I do that way too many times, right?) A couple of months ago a friend of mine called me up and told me that he was going to have a girl. I wrote about it when I first knew about him being preggers... I asked that the moment he knew the sex that he had to call me. So he did. Without thinking I wrote on my Facebook Status: It's a girl. Cut to a couple of hours. My Boyfriends sister and brother called him, happy as hell, wondering if WE were having a baby. We told them that it was just a Facebook Status gone wrong, it was not me but one of my dearest friends. We laughed for a couple of days about it... But it got me thinking...

So now back to the beach. We are again talking about having a baby. I start wondering while looking at that beautiful boy. "XXX friend told me that our kid would be awesome, if we had one". "Oh he did?" "Yep." "Yeah, us two having a baby would rock, our baby would be king of the world". We started laughing and talking about all the cool stuff we would do to our kid. Cool haircuts. Weird Clothes. XBox training sessions since he was two... That got me thinking...

In a couple of days, it will be Sunday. Sunday is the time for my pills again.

I don't want to buy them.

That. Got. Me. Thinking.

My other half and I are watching little bump grow now. We're about 4 months along, and it's all quite wonderful. It kinda came out of the blue, and my first reaction was total surprise, but those mother instincts kick in pretty dang fast.

Get yourself some folic acid and give yourself a few pill-free months. Then see what you see... Sounds like the little idea is growing in your head already! :)

This is the best news I've heard so far this year!

Yep. I'm working on a deadline for that... We're very interested in the idea, so... I'll let you know when the Folic Acid pills get bought instead of those damn pills.

I forgot one thing about the story, I would say the thing that got the ball moving even more. The Monday I got back home from out stint at the beach, I went to my ObGyn for my yearly visit. When I walked in the office, there was a huge mural of all the babies my doc had delivered.

The surprise was, I usually don't get all sentimental with the idea of being pregnant... until I saw that mural. I imagined my baby on his hands taped in that huge wall, with the doctor that has been there for me over all these years...

We'll talk it over a bit more, I'll keep all of you posted.

Loved your post so much it gave me an idea to write one of my own on babies and advertising. I'm still figuring out backlinks, so I've no idea if I gave proper credit. Just wanted to say cheers for the inspiration!

And good luck!

Hey Teenie!!! I'm glad you liked it. I usually try to keep my stuff out of WAS as much as I can, but this time I just couldn't. Sometimes I think that this little blog is also my diary. Yikes!

Oh... Today is Sunday. Yeah... Off to the pharmacy. :-(
