Met the baby today

So, I met the baby girl I'll be caring for today. I was only a little bit nervous of how I would handle it but knew I would be fine and indeed I was. I took right to her and it felt really great to hold a new life and know that someday it would happen for me too, even if now isn't the right time. I'm actually happy and excited to be able to care for her and watch her grow over the next year or so from newborn on up. I'm really thankful I got this job because even though I had an unexpected MC after I had already taken this job, I think it's going to be really soothing and healing for me. It's just what I needed.

    Wow. I'm so happy for you and what a great outlook you have. I'm still at the want to scratch my eyes out with jealousy phase when I see a baby. Glad that you are able to find comfort in caring for another's baby - that is really fantastic!

    Thanks girls. I think it will be bittersweet at times but it will feel nice to have a little one dependent on me and for me to nurture. That's just part of my nature so since losing ours and deciding not to TTC for a while, this is the next best thing. For some reason, it gives me more hope :)

    Hugs
