Hello, readers of All Things Ashley! 
Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Alyx, and I blog over at Every Day is a New Adventure. My super amazing hubby and I are currently livin' it up in the good ole land of beer and Lederhosen [that's Germany if you couldn't guess], and so far we are loving it! Feel free to come by and say hello - I love meeting new people! 

We are obviously very sophisticated adults. Anyway, I'm so excited that I get to be a guest here on Ashley's blog - it is one of my daily reads! As I was trying to channel my inner creativeness [which is almost non-existent] trying to come up with a worthy guest post, inspiration high-fived me in the face [okay, not really... but it sounded cool].  

Baby Fever: the Incredibly Contagious and Easy to Catch Disease that Comes upon You When You Least Expect It 
Beware: it can happen to you. Yes, you. The girl sitting at her computer thinking to herself what is this chick smoking? I'm young and have my whole life ahead of me. No way will I get baby fever anytime soon. PUH-LEASE. I was you once. Heck, I was you a month ago. But then... something happened. I caught baby fever. I caught it bad.One day I was telling my husband how I was going to take over the world with my awesomeness and super woman powers go to school and get my PhD in Economics, travel the world doing guest lectures, and teach at the university level. The next day, I saw these all over the place. No matter where I went, little pinchable baby cheeks started popping up in my face.  

This is how you catch the fever:- Your friends all start getting pregnant and having babies.- You see other people's New Year's Resolutions, and they include having babies.- Your younger siblings start beating you at having babies.- You see adorable babies on TV, Facebook, billboards, blogs - EVERYWHERE. It's like they're taking over the world. - You watch Season 6 of How I Met Your Mother and start to bond with Lily in her baby craze. - Eventually, you are overcome by the cuteness of those little monsters and decide that you need one in your belly. 

This is how to avoid catching the fever:- Don't have married friends. Or friends that forget to use protection and end up with an illegitimate child in their belly. - Don't watch season 6 of How I Met Your Mother.- Don't let your siblings have children. Nieces and nephews are the #1 cause of this deadly disease. - Only look at ugly babies. Here, let me help you: 

Sorry if your eyes just burned out of your head. But on the bright side ... My baby fever is cured.
