I'm not really a baby person. Does that sound bad? It's true. I'm not
one to ooh and ahh over a baby, coo at them or really take any interest
in them. It always felt awkward, and weird, like I just didn't get it.
I sometimes felt weird being a girl who wasn't into babies. I've never
been one to yearn for a child or wish away my freedom (aka
baby-free life) too soon for a baby, and while I would like that someday, not just
yet, please.
However, that is slowly changing. Instead of feeling 'meh' about babies, I'm starting to really like babies. I even request to hold them when they are around and I like to make those silly noises and talk in that elevated voice. I'm even quite comfortable holding a baby, whereas before it was total awkwardness. And while I'm no where near to being close to wanting my own, I'm kind of digging babies lately. How do you feel holding a baby?

* That cutie that I'm holding above is the reason I attended a baby shower back in the spring. Isn't she adorable!?
Aaww what an adorable baby! I hear ya tho. Up until I had my daughter, holding a baby was awkward to say the least. And now that my daughter is 8, I miss babies so much. Even that slight Johnsons baby wash/spit-up smell. I beg my sisters to take their baby for the weekend. I've been told it's called baby fever, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I think it depends on the kid but generally speaking, I don't care much for other people's babies or kids. I know, that sounds really horrible, but I think when it's your own you have a completely different feeling. I'm in my mid 20's and definitely still not ready mentally(& not ready to let go of my freedom).
ReplyDeleteI love babies! She is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHow many do you want? By what age do you want babies??
I cant wait to be a mom!
I know more and more girls who are like that, a lot of women at my office. It's the best when those types become Moms and you get to see them melt like everyone else! :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll probably end up having a baby just for the photo-ops, kind of like your wedding.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Anon? So rude....
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteWell...I wanted to leave a comment that I love these pics and am totally with ya on the baby train (always would get super excited for puppies...babies not so much until lately :-)).
But then I see what anon left as a message. I just wanted to send you an internet hug from Denver. Don't put any time/energy in the haters girl!
While I'm at it, here is a fav quote that I think about nearly every day in my work as a psychologist:
"Yuor observations and subsequent conclusions about others often reveal more about yourself than those whom you observe."
