Baby Time

I've been craving some baby time recently. Not so badly that I want my own 24/7 baby time. I just wanna hold and snuggle, and sniff some newborn for a good few hours! I love being with a newborn, watching them unfold their hands, and wrap their fingers around mine, and the big baby yawns, and the sweet newborn smell, mixed with Johnson's Baby powder. And the feel of their soft, tender skin...makes my heart sing!

This past weekend, we spent some time with my nephew and his wife and their 2 month old baby girl. But there were a ton of people there...so that meant my time with baby girl lasted just minutes. Although she was a sweetheart...I wanted more. After that, we headed to the hospital to visit my niece and her hubby and I was excited to hold her baby boy, less than 48 hours old. But it wasn't to be...he was under the bilirubin lights. I didn't even get to see but through the glass window. So, I'm still seeking my baby time. Thankfully, my bestest, oldest (as in longest, not old) friend from High School, had a baby last week too! So, the Chief is supportive of letting me go and spend 4 solid days holding that baby, cooing that baby talk, and taking in her sweet newborn smells. Here I come baby, Lydia!

I'm not sure if the Chief is hoping I get my baby fix or if it turns into an addiction and I'll be looking for that 24/7 thing! Don't be getting any ideas there, Buster! Cuz,I'm betting that those 96 hours will give me my fill, and I'll be just fine...until the next time. And hopefully by then, my nieces and nephews will be ready to expand their families!
