Just too much

I'm currently sitting at my desk at work and I'm having to listen to the following...

Opposite me. I have a woman talking on the phone about her baby daughter who turned one last week.

To my right. I have a woman and a man talking about their children and the impending birth of the man's second child.

Just behind them. There are two pregnant colleagues talking about pregnancy, birth and babies. One is leaving on maternity on Friday and the other will be leaving in the next couple of months. As if on cue, I have just heard that she is due at the beginning of August.

Now, add to this a man in my office whose wife is due in August. A woman whose sister has just given birth. And another woman who became a grandmother for the first time in January and you have an awful lot of pregnancy/baby talk. Almost too much pregnancy/baby talk for any normal person but definitely too much baby/pregnancy talk for an IF.
