so... i'm starting to view not reaching my deadline as a blessing. the friend who met my deadline for me might be pregnant. if she is, she'll be a great mom (because she would keep the baby)... but we're not there yet. she's done two pregnancy tests, though, so we're getting close. just the doctor's official agreement that she is, actually, pregnant. yikes. irony? she's only had sex three times (yes, in her life).
