After Cate Blakely and her husband Ethan find out they've
had a close call with pregnancy, they realize that's really
what they do want, after all. An honest attempt then ensues
at trying to have a baby.
Mixed into this, Cate is being railroaded into being
involved in a shower and wedding for her cousin, Denise.
Cate and Ethan do not like Denise's fiancé, Keith, and feel
that neither he nor his spoiled children from a previous
marriage are good for Denise.
Cate finally finds, through one of many home pregnancy
tests, that "they" are pregnant. Both Cate and Ethan's
families are thrilled with the prospect of a new baby, but
juggling being sick all the time and trying to cope with
Denise's wedding arrangements has Cate stressed.
The pregnancy is followed from conception to birth with all
the pitfalls and joys of motherhood. The incidents Cate is
involved in are interesting and the characters are well-
defined. However, I felt a stronger plot would have given
the reading more magnetism.
Cate is no longer a permanent bridesmaid. Having found a
love of her own with Ethan, she's enjoying newlywed bliss.
Life is so much calmer now that the wedding mayhem has
subsided. Just one problem: as the last of their friends to
marry, Cate and Ethan are now the only ones who don't have
a kid, aren't expecting a kid, and aren't even trying.
There's not even a bump on the horizon. They were just
cozying up to being a twosome, and now there's pressure to
make it three. Those carefree bridesmaid days are starting
to look good.
