Meet Ariana, or as I call her, "Baybeeee!"
I've never been really attached to kids or infants. But between this newborn and Mark's daughter, Faithfulness, I just can't wrap my head around how precious babies are. Forgive my mushiness, but they truly are a miracle, and to state the obvious...
I want one!
Not tomorrow, and not next month, but eventually. I've enjoyed holding Baby Ari whenever I get the chance- heck, I've half-eaten a couple of meals with one hand just so I can hold this joy. Kiki says the baby looks good on me, and that I should 'wear' her more often. I think, though, that that might send out the 'taken' vibe.
Back to baby... she's calm and happy; peaceful most of the time, and my favorite thing of all... fascinated by the most mundane things, like my hand. Compared to her face, it is huge, I'll admit. It's gonna be weird to stop being around a baby again; they smell like sweet corn or butterscotch, and remind you of everything good in the world. I am such a softy...

I spend every week day with young children...and I do NOT want kids! lol.
I'd say within the last year I've gone through a vast array of emotions concerning children. First I didn't want kids...then I thought, "Okay, by the time I'm 30 I'll be ready to pop one out...and maybe another one after that...heck, maybe even three! Maybe..."
Then I started working at Montessori and I thought those kiddies were the best and I thought, "Maybe I won't wait until I'm 30...maybe I'll start in my late 20s." And I just couldn't wait to start my own family with Alex. :-)
Now I've been working at MBPS for a few months...and I officially think all children are the spawn of Satan. Spoiled, loud, annoying...
Ugh, it's so sad. Now I'm definitely waiting until I'm THIRTY! Or I might skip the whole baby thing and adopt an older child...But I'd like to skip the middle school years...so maybe I can return them for a couple years and then get 'em back later.... ?
I know, I know...I'm a terrible person. People say that it's "different" when you have your own kids...but I know PLENTY of moms who think their kids are annoying, so I don't know how true that is...
Bleh.
Anyway, I'm sure YOU'D make a great mom though! Perhaps I'll just live next door to you and let you baby sit my kids. ;-)
I'm with Kristel.
I have mixed emotions about kids. But you'd definately be an amazing mom :0)
aww come on kristel, please remember that those mothers who are annoyed by their kids are BAD mothers, who dont read books about child psychology or anything of the sort...a responsible parent who is willing to instill discipline will be fine...think of kids as play-doh...its ur job to mold them into lovable babies...not into gremlin monsters... parents who are too soft to teach them properly turn them into monsters :)
Kristel...my dear loved one, you'll know where you are ready to have kids. And to Merari give it time things will change.
Anne- I cannot agree more with you. I'm ready to be a mother in the next couple of years. Im sure things won't be great all of the time, but to have something that is the best of both you and your loved one is amazing. I am 100% positive that you will make a great mother someday, till then would you mind babysitting mine? lol
awwww. bayyyybeeee is cute! lol. you're lucky, however, cause you get her when she's good. when she's bad, you just hand her back to mommy and all is well. they should make a baby borrowing business. then again, probably not. i understand what you feel though.
