a facebook baby boom!
I have quite a few facebook buddies and they are people that aren't always in the first ring of friends/family etc. They're people I went to highschool or college with but don't necessarily see all the time, distant relatives, family friends, etc. In the last 48 hours, 3 have had babies. That is a lot! And there are few imminent births that I wouldn't be surprised if it happened before the end of the week. Holy cow - that is a lot of babies all the sudden. I'm thrilled for them all but my goodness! Must've been a slow late summer! 
Re: a facebook baby boom!
Geez! That IS a lot! I have had several, but over the past few months, not days! I know I'm "that age" where friends start having babies, but I totally blame the recession.
Oh wow that is a baby boom! I've noticed on FB that there are a lot of birthdays in April...guess it's always a slow late summer...
My sister who is going to be a doctor in a few weeks said the same thing! She thinks that the boom is because with the recession people aren't going "out" for fun. They're staying in and having "fun" instead.
On NPR yesterday they were saying that the US birth rate is down 2% since 2007, and they were saying that THAT was due to the recession! Apparently the states with the highest unemployment and highest home forclosure rates also had the biggest drops in birth rates - basically people can't afford babies right now!
