New Baby in the Gang

And another on the way. I sent congratulations, but without seeing their happy faces in person it's rather difficult to truly empathize-- it's not my world, and I can't see myself balancing all I'm doing now with that kind of responsibility.

It did alarm me how I'm still a kid in many aspects (though some I'd like to keep) at this age. I need a definition of maturity that doesn't involve marriage and mothering... one that doesn't depend on other people, one that will help me make peace with my own expectation... and I need to start working towards that.
