I was absolutely *dreading* the Canada Day celebrations today, because I *swear* every year it seems like they must bring bus loads of pregnant women into town just for the soul purpose of walking around the park. I know that's completely crazy, but it crosses my mind every year!

I first noticed this phenomenon several years ago, before we had decided to try, but after I got the baby bug in a bad way. At that time, seeing all the pregnant bellies was a reminder of what we weren't quite ready to do. Now, it's a reminder of what we're unable to do.

However, I am pleased to report that the bus must have gotten a flat on the way to the park, because I saw many less large bellies than usual.

All in all, it was a wonderful day, and even though we aren't realizing our current dream, we are incredibly blessed to have M. She certainly takes the sting out of days like today.

  1. A bus full of pregnant woman. Oh no, that would be too much. I'm glad this year was better.

    Thanks for visiting my blog! A gestational caravan -- (shudder).

    BTW my husband and I are considering a trip to Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver in September. I'll be asking for travel tips soon, so please check back!

  4. A whole bus of pregnant women--what a nightmare!

    Glad that M took the sting out of the day.
