The love the baby moods.
I just got word that a friend is pregnant, this means I'll be going shopping for baby gifts at some point in the next couple of months.
I love baby stuff.
I love babies.
buying baby stuff and holding new babies, makes me want a new baby.
But I don't really want one, I just like the idea of having baby.
Plus I know that my body just can't do it again, so that totally helps me get over the want a baby moods that come and go every time I see a baby or get to spend time with my nieces.
I love the way babies look, all smooshed and poofy-skinned, how they smell, and how absolutely adorable they are when they are sleeping.
Then I remember that they grow up, and turn into teens eventually, and these have been some of the hardest years of being a mother.
I love my sons, I really do, but with each passing year, this job gets harder and harder.
And it IS a job.
It's all on me to raise them right, teach them stuff they can't learn at school, try and make them see the good men they can become.
It's tricky sometimes.
I would never trade these years of raising them by myself, no way, but oh how I long for the days when they just cooed and stared up at you with their huge baby eyes, and had that awesome new baby smell on their heads.
They were super cute babies, and now here they are, almost men.
It's kind of frightening to think how quickly these years have gone by.

Yes newly born babies are really cute and its kind of amazing feeling holding them in your hand and playing with them.I think every body should at least experience this feeling once.

Babies are great and then they get older..haha... but there are times even I have baby envy. Couldn't have one if I wanted to though.. tubes are cut, seered and tied.
