A lil slice of heaven

KaliChick · March 2010

I sometimes get bummed out when I look in my backseat and I have a huge car seat and no baby. Or when I find a burp cloth in the dryer. It stings a little when I open the freezer and see a bag of frozen breast milk and know it's not mine.

And then I get days like today ... I have a baby exersaucer in the middle of my kitchen and binky on my finger and my gorgeous niece sound asleep on the couch next to me. It is a little slice of heaven when I get to spend a morning like this with her.

(all of the above stuff is hers, obviously, that I have because I pick her up from the babysitter occasionally or just for Auntie time)

I know a lot of women around here have a hard time being with babies, but my G girl is so special and sweet that I just relish in it. Sure, it still hurts, but at least I have her and my sister who lets me have her pretty much whenever!

there is nothing I love more than hanging out with my nephew or my friends' babies. they just remind me of what i know i'll have one day !

monday morning i babysat for my friend so she could go to a job interview. her 5 month old fell asleep while i was holding him, which apparently is rare for him to do. we just sat on the sofa and snuggled which was so awesome.

Gabby did the same thing this morning, but I finally laid her down because she needs to nap for a couple hours and I needed to get a few things done. She should be up soon, she's been down for an hour and forty five now.

She's sick at the moment so she's a little extra cuddly which is nice.

I have a 5 month old nephew, and I've gotten to spend some time with him at family gatherings. On Christmas he was a little fussy during the end of dinner, so I held him and danced around the living room.

I was equal parts sad and elated when he fell asleep on my chest, so I laid my cheek on his head, closed my eyes, and swayed, just enjoying that short time. It's a moment I won't forget anytime soon.

My SIL has triplets- BIL has a singleton that are all under a year. I volunteered to watch the set on Mondays and it's honestly been one of the best decisions ever. I get as much baby as I can possibly stand. As much hugging and holding, and cooing and diaper changes. I don't think I would find it nearly as peaceful if we hadn't been TTC since before they were born.

There are so many of them that I can hold one all day and no one accuses me of monopolizing the baby. My sister has a 4 year old and I virtually never got to hold her- there was always a line and someone to come take her away after a few moments.
