Today's Word: AGAIN
GO
My boss arrived today with his wife and new baby in tow.
One of the secretaries and I managed to shoo them out the building to go and have breakfast, and we baby-sat.
What an adorable little thing. She didn't cry or complain at all, just fell asleep on my shoulder (until I had an urgent matter that had to be attended to, and handed her over to the secretary).
It made me feel like the mom of a New Born all over again.
So many people ask me if I'm going to have another baby, and I can honestly say that I will not.
I would love a little baby to cuddle again, and to hold and sing to and rock, but I just could not go through that exhaustion all over again.
As it is the Bunny came through/ cried out about 5 times during the night.
All I could do in the early hours of this morning was thank the Lord that it wasn't a continuous thing, and that tonight I will actually get some sleep.
New Mom's don't have that luxury - not for at least two years, and I couldn't face that again
So... I will happily baby-sit and cuddle to my hearts content, but when the sun goes down the baby goes back to his/her momma!
STOP

I have three kids and will not be having any more for sure because of medical complications. But I love the babies. I am living vicariously through my sister in law and her new baby. I have my hands very full but i do miss that heart melting cuddling.
ReplyDeleteYou must have a special touch with babies. I get the opposite reaction. They squirm and twist until I hand them back. Click here to check out my 5 Minute Friday
ReplyDeleteI love holding and playing with babies. our son is an only and I love him dearly, he completes our lives, but I do miss the joy of a baby...but I don't miss the sleepless nights, explosive diapers, and teething.
