Baby boy
Yesterday was a baby day.
Two boy babies, but it actually started with a semi-funny baby concept.
And we laughed like we belonged some great girl-birthing club...but then she told me a friend just told her :) that they read some women may have enzymes in their uterus that kill off the male sperm...AND boy did we laugh. Sorry men. No offense. But it was a funny moment, that continued with me hold two boy babies afterwards...I'm sure there's a cosmic sign there if I meditate long enough on it.
Minutes after another mom walks up to me and starts chatting. Her oldest boy in school, middle girl on computer, babyboy in her arms lunging to me...Well--whats a girl to do, but give some baby loving. :))
Because I do love babies.
They come natural, but thats beside the point.
We stood there and talked. She is an absolutely stunning woman who is trying to figure out if she's done having babies. She's not in my opinion, but her husband is...and all along this talking, I'm loving this baby moment I'm getting--because my baby will be 11 soon.
A baby day, not like I have one--because my three babygirls are tween/teen growing babies...but a day I got to HOLD babies.
I was walking out of my area when a pregnant mom of two little girls walked up to me. We did the typical how-are-yous, when I asked how she was feeling and how beautiful she looked. She told me she felt how she thought she should feel, which I think may have meant INVADED because at a certain point, I know I felt that way. Anyhow she then said,
"So did I tell you I'm having another girl..."And we laughed like we belonged some great girl-birthing club...but then she told me a friend just told her :) that they read some women may have enzymes in their uterus that kill off the male sperm...AND boy did we laugh. Sorry men. No offense. But it was a funny moment, that continued with me hold two boy babies afterwards...I'm sure there's a cosmic sign there if I meditate long enough on it.

And then I go home for my lunch to discover my friends sister is visiting with her two boys--one 3, the other 6 mo. Aaahhhh...more loving.
And I felt this overwhelming gratitude to have these few moments with these babysouls--but also a gratitude to not have the longing of being pregnant. I love/d being pregnant, I love the nursing...but it took me years to get over the true clock-ticking-whacha-gonna-do-with-the-rest-of-your-life-if-your-not-prego/littlebabyfied...that now, I'm grateful for where I am.
I miss those days of chaos and youth, but feel great at 38 I'm young enough to enjoy where I am too...able to love on babies and know it's all good:)

I can see how they are addictive. For me half the joy is giving them back and going home to a restful night of sleep. :-) But I can see where you are coming from.
And Jewels--yes it is a feeling..and I will say after so many years of not sleeping--I do enjoy an entire nights sleep again. Of course that may change when dating starts to happen--but I'm hoping that'll be another 10 years or so..haha..thanks!!
Enjoy where you are now :) x
