Coincidence or an act of fate by the Gods of Fertility?

Everyone around me seems to be getting preggie. Not sure if it's becoz we are all hitting the big "3" soon hence the planning and the rush but well, 3 of my g/fs are expecting their bundle of joy all together & conceived just a month apart! Can't imagine that i'll have to visit the hospital 3x this yr and well, really "upgrade" to Aunty Elena in the eyes of their kids. Baby showers, kiddy's birthdays will all be part of my life very soon i reckon.

2010 is the yr when alot of my peers are entering the big "3". I really do kinda look forward to it though. The "2" era was filled with uncertainty and one was probably fidgeting about their careers, financial health and looking over their shoulders to see how others are doing. I guess when u are in the "3" category, u really settle down and grow in confidence. Of course, alot of people start planning to start a family in this age too but erm, i don't know about myself though... As i see peers embarking on the next stage of their lives, i can't help but question if i'll be in their shoes too... Nah, not "envious" because a kid is really a lifelong responsibility but i do question what made them decide to start a family? Is it the natural flow in one's life, or because there was this "calling" that "it's time"?

Apart from the preggie news, work life is driving me absolute bananas. I don't know if it's a result of "not getting used to the work" or simply hating it. I'd like to tell myself that it's the initial stages so teething problems but as the days/ hours/ minutes go by, i kinda feel that i'd wanna head back to a bank if the opportunity comes by again. I have resorted to numb myself by looking forward to the happiest day of the month - no prizes for guessing what day it's.
