You find out your friend is pregnant and you're not immediately happy for them; you're happy because you get to knit baby stuff.

I just found out one of my best friends and his wife are trying to get pregnant. I told him that even if they don't find out the baby's sex, I need to know for the layette. BSJ here I come!

Not bad at all. I'm certainly not a person that gets excited about little babies...but I do think they look incredibly cute in handknit items :-)

*grins* yeah but, then they grow up O.o I love babies, and I swear it's that smell that causes women to be addicted and get that baby hungry feeling. Before delivering my son, I told the doctor I wanted immediately after to be fixed permanently, because I knew I'd have more if I could. I had to save me from myself.

I'm taking a layette to England this weekend and look forward to cuddling the latest family member - and I won't mind the vomit and pee one bit. Mario, you said it perfectly.
