I win!

My husband was visiting friends this past weekend. He brought up the topic of kids and "when you thinking of having some?" Now mind you this pair of friends got married a year before us, one went to pharmacy school, and has basically been on a better career path then me. I also didn't see them going the domestic route soon. Then again, monkey see, monkey do. Thanks to these friends we have a large and larger flat screen TV and they have a house and a new car. Not sure which set the Jones are... but we are keeping up. So... I was surprised to hear the husband say "I win" when he called home on Saturday.

"You win? You win what?" I vaguely remember a bet, but was unclear on the rules.

"I win the baby bet"

"Does that mean we are planning sooner or later?"

"Later. They caved first. I win!" This left me a little confused. I knew we had moved the start date up... but I was unaware that we had SET a date. I mean... two years from now kind of leaves it open.

"Um, so when is their start date?"

"Well they are saving up time off, so Spring. We are summer" Huh... we are summer? Well I know that I was thinking summer. I have to get my birth control refilled in January. I figured another 6 months or so of that, a few months off to figure out charting then giving it the O'll college try, but Summer. That's a season. That narrows it down to a few months. That means as early as June or maybe even May. That is only the 5 or 6 month of the year. That changed my plans a little. Yes, this all went through my head before...

"Spring? Wow... OK. Didn't figure they would start so early."

So I guess I have a "Start Season". I can't even begin to list all the things I want to get accomplished before then. I am a firm FIRM believer that the 9 months a women is pregnant is not enough time to prepare for a baby. I have loads of information I want to learn! UGH. Summer. Then again, might be my new favorite time of year!
