Doesn't it just make you want one? Don't ya just forget about the prior 9 months of discomfort, moods, pains, feeling fat and like a social outcast? Forget about the birth side of it etc, He's a gorgeous little thing*.
This is just how I felt on the return to school today after 2 weeks off to be greeted by not one newborn baby boy but FOUR. It's been a busy two weeks for the local mums. Two of them are mums at the nursery Liam goes to. One of which was the baby of my friend that had the eptopic pregnancy late last year. It turned out she was having non identical twins, one nearly killed her, the other became a one in a million baby that got through so much just to exist. I am SO thrilled for that little family. All I can say, without giving too much away is that that baby is named after a world famous boxer since he was a little fighter from the word go.
Then in James class there was another birthday last Tuesday. I was trying to leave school this morning (Just in case there's something in the air as well as the water), patted her on the shoulder as I was passing to say Congratulations, had a peep in the pram to see a little blue hat. "Awww, so it's a boy... he's lovely! Well done" I said - like you do, for her to say "2 boys!" On closer inspection, there laid another baby sleeping top to toe at the other end of the pram. It was the cutest and loveliest little surprise ever!
Another mum had her baby boy early May so that's 5 baby boys been born in May. It's mad. There appears to be no clearly pregnant mums about at the moment so it must be getting near time for 2015 baby announcements.
**Don't give me that look - wink wink**
So, what with that and online friends having baby news and things going on this week, what can I say other than yes, I am feeling it right now. And all these boys being born must up my chances for a girl next year eh? Only kidding, Never say Never is all I say.... As much as I think of the un-practicalness of it all, they are still lovely and though some days, months and schooldays are tough, a big part of me, a big CRAZY part of me WOULD do it all again.
*Photo from Google search. Not a baby I actually know. I liked it so borrowed it.
Awwww I like this post and that is a cute pic you found! Wow there have been a lot of babies lately, boys especially huh?? :) why not four to even things out?! ;) heheheh. I'm bad!!! What does C think????
ReplyDeleteHa, no. No more babies for us, 3 is certainly enough whilst they are growing up, we're all moving forward and another baby would set us back too much if that makes sense. Even if came off my BC now and fell pregnant by Christmas for Sept 2015, we'd be set back 6 years from where we are now. I'm not really prepared for that. It's nice to not have so many tight routines, the feeding, nappies, bedtimes etc, it is much easier when they are at school and we can do family things. Nice idea, but completely impractical.
