Since my Mom and my MIL read this blog I need to clarify that there is no baby yet!
OK. Now I can start.
So this past Friday we got to spend time with our newest nephew, Ayden. OMG - he is just soo perfect in every little way. He was so soft and still had the new baby smell :). Oh and while I was holding him, he fell asleep. This was also the day when I received my only "Aw" moment from my FIL. It was when I was upstairs, I overheard him telling my hubby that I am going to be an excellent Mom and doesn't need practice at all... say it with me, AW!!
So guess what?!?!
I'm having baby fever - AGAIN!
I think it is funny how when I was growing up I didn't dream of getting married and having kids. That was the furthest from my mind. My thoughts were filled with goals of graduating college and having a career way before a family was even thought of. My thoughts weren't the norm where I was living. There were kids having kids and in my culture it is very normal to be married and start a family in your early 20's. I always wanted to be different then the norm so that is what I did.
Now that I am married, I am constantly thinking about babies. It's crazy how one's sex life has become less personal and more public after you get married. Just when all the questions about "when are you getting married?" have stopped the next question is, "when are you having a baby?" or when you you mention starting a family the next question is "OMG - are you pregnant?." I know everyone is excited for Mr. Roddy and I and so are we. We are just hoping to be blessed with a little one some day. We'd love to give baby Ayden a playmate but until that happens we just have to wait and see what's in store for us.
I am just hoping this baby fever can subside for a little while until it really happens. :)
Have any of you had a bit of baby fever before? How did you learn to control it?
I totally have it now and I'm still 18 days out of being married...LOL. My (future)SIL is preggo and she makes me want babies now!!! When we have our niece around starting in Dec I will def be on D for babies...LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh man, definately not at the Baby Fever stage yet. I think I JUST entered the stage where if I got accidentially knocked up things would be ok. I'm 26 (would be 27 when said bundle of joy is born), will own a home in a month, have a wonderful fiancee who would be 32 before any bundle of joy is born, and we both have good jobs with good health benefits. Yet still, I get a little worried when "The Red Sox" seem to get into town late.
ReplyDeleteI read that it is in every women nature to want a family and that the happiest women are those that get it. Not sure if it;s true but I tend to think it could be as having a family means less selfishness and more giving, which though its nice to be self consumed, really does lead to a better more true happiness. I have only seen my new nephew, Nathan, once but I am excited to see him again. He is sooo adorable. And I think my soon to be husband would honestly love it if I caught baby fever.
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm definitely having baby fever and I'm 8 months out from my wedding, finishing my last semester of college, and way too young according to my mother! But I can't wait =]
ReplyDeleteI've yet to learn to control my baby fever... doesn't help that we have a new nephew and just bought a house with two extra bedrooms (aka future nurseries!). I just try not to mention it *too* often to my fiance!
