Common sense advice from a not-so-smug married

A few weeks ago I was eating lunch with one of my married girlfriends and we were talking about children. I had just seen my baby cousin that weekend and I told her that lately I'd been feeling very maternal. I was smiling at and flirting with every baby I saw in the line at the grocery store or as I walked through the mall.
"It is a bit disconcerting," I said. "I see babies and I just want to hug them and kiss them and play with them and love them. I don't know what's come over me."
"Oh, honey, I wouldn't worry about that," she said, very matter of factly, in between sips of Diet Coke. "You're probably just ovulating."
