It's funny how the baby bomb can hit you out of nowhere. You're just going about your daily business and 'boom' the knot in the pit of your stomach tightens and the jealousy explodes.
Today I got an email from a friend I haven't heard from in over a year. A lot's changed she says. I'm a mum now. WTF? It's not supposed to happen like that. You're not married, you don't have a stable longterm relationship or a good career.
'It's not fair' I want to shout, like I'm thirteen years old again and not allowed to hang out with my friends at the fair. It's really not fiair.
There's no planning for the baby bomb. It ticks away silently making you think you're handling things fine and then down comes the debris, covering your day in a thin layer of dust that won't be swept away.
