Go ahead -- ask my mom sometime how she feels about toy or toy-ish guns. She agrees with you! Funny thing on that first baby business. It's a lot of work, right down to having to wallpaper the closet. For real. Also there's a lot of grin-and-nod. A co-worker (male) this morning suggested home birth (illegal in my state). Another former co-worker (who only left us a week ago) and her husband were done with children at three, but now are (surprise) expecting twins. I suspect Nos. 4 and 5 will be their version of a lot of work, especially since No. 3 is still in diapers. And as a postscript, I returned to contacts after several (maybe seven?) years of just glasses, and got three comments. I guess I'm marginally ahead of you, with marginally being the keyword.
