You Know You Have Baby Fever When...
ytimg.com

My cousin Eric got married in July, and he and his wife Dora announced the week after that they're expecting a baby! I've been so excited, but it was when they revealed that they are expecting a girl that my excitement peaked--big time! The baby is going to be here in about two months, and this realization has made me super pumped.

As I write this article while also looking at baby clothes (multitasking for the win!), I realize that most people get a case of baby fever at some point in their life. It could happen with the first baby in the family, or after several have been born. It can happen at any age; you can be the little kid sister who's excited to get another sibling, the soon-to-be new parents, or the great-grandparents who are ready to spoil a new generation of kids. What better way to explain what baby fever is to those who don't understand it through visuals; more specifically, GIFS!!

1. Every time you see a baby you automatically become happy and run over to play with them.

2. When almost every day is spent looking at baby clothes and having these types of reactions when you find something cute.

3. So. Much. Online. Shopping.

4. Then you actually go into a store and freak out over all the cute things you see and want for the baby. If someone is with you, they will probably say...

5. When it takes everything in you NOT to look in the baby section while you are shopping and on a tight schedule.

It's going to be painful, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

6. Ultimately, this makes you think about when you have a baby. You might be excited, but your partner on the other hand...

7. You begin to think of all the names you want for a boy and a girl.

8. Then you find yourself at Pinterest looking at all the cute nursery decorations.

9. When you walk into the baby shower and see all the decorations, party favors, and treats.

10. How you behave when the baby is almost due to when the baby actually arrives.

And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so excited to become an aunt. These next couple of weeks are going to fly by and I can't wait to finally meet her. January please come quick!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
