when i was pregnant with will i kept noticing so many pregnant people! and so many magazine headlines talked about all these celebrities having babies. it seemed to be the cool thing to do - have a baby!
i remember telling my mom one day - it seems like everyone is having a baby right now! she said i was just extra sensitive to it because i was about to have one myself.
but, check this out. i just read this in World magazine.
"It's the tiniest of baby booms. This is not an earthquake; it's a slight tremor."
"Fertility researcher S. Philip Morgan of Duke University on the record number of births in the United States during 2007. There were more than 4.3 million births, 40 percent of which were out of wedlock."
i wonder what 2009's stats will be. with the economy not looking so stable, i wonder how people will react. will they think a having a child will fill a void in their lives and help things? will they take birth control more seriously? will they even be able to set aside money for birth control? will they abstain? will they give the marriage relationship a chance?
what do you think?
