I just told one of the girls I work with that I was exhausted. Her exact words were, “Uh-oh! Baby number 2!” Now I’m paranoid! She said that her mom still had a period for the first 3 months of one of her pregnancies.

Kinda….I went to lunch and made myself eat and took a nap in the break room. But then when I came back I felt like I did this morning. And I still feel exhausted like I could seriously sleep for a week!

If you can't read what the Magic 8 Ball says to the question, "Am I pregnant?"

Very funny

Anyway, I do not think I am pregnant. I have not taken a pregnancy test, nor do I think it is necessary. I am a habitual taker of Birth Control! I know what you are all thinking...you can still get pregant while on Birth Control. That was the only day that I have not felt up to par and I have been fine since, except for battling my allergies all week long.

Two people I know have had babies in the last two days and I know at least 5 people who are pregnant right now. Congrats to both of the new mommies and all of the new mommies to be! I thoroughly enjoy being a mother! Words can not explain how it feels to be a mother. I miss being pregnant, feeling the baby kick or move, the bonding that takes place even before the little one arrives....absolutely amazing! Derrick and I have decided to wait until Seth is a year old before we start trying again.....so, until then, we get to enjoy everyone else's bundle of joy!

For the facts on Recession and the Baby Boom? or Baby Bust?:

The Last Four U.S. Recessions Have Been Followed by Declines in the Country's Fertility Rate

Oct. 14, 2008 -- Maternity wards may get a bit quieter in about nine months.

That's because recessions and babies apparently don't mix. It's been true for the last four recessions, and experts are predicting a similar downturn now. There's plenty of bad economic news out there: the crisis on Wall Street, record foreclosures, high prices for gas and food. A recent study by the American Psychological Association showed that 80% of Americans are stressed about the economy.

At times like this, demographers say, Americans postpone starting a family and think twice about adding a baby to a family that is already struggling.
