Babies

What is it about babies that make most of us with kids just melt. I see an itty bitty baby now and I turn into one of those women who just want to giggle and coo at them. I spent the afternoon with my good friend Colleen at BRUs helping her register for her little who is due in November. I have to say I love going into that store. Except that I always leave with a new little something for Jack every time! Today it was some new clothes and a new interactive toy, all on clearance! But anyway, we strolled up and down the aisles scanning all the "must haves" for her little one. It was fun. And I found myself missing that rush of knowing you're going to have a baby. Now I'm not anywhere near ready for another one, but just the thought makes me smile.
That sweet baby smell is like the smell of turkey on Thanksgiving. You just can't get enough of it. I have come to love that newborn little cry that used to be like nails on a chalk board. I have also noticed that, even though I am not holding Jack, I will sway back and forth with my arms folded when I am talking to someone or if I am just standing in church. They must think I am crazy or that I have to pee.
It's all because I have had one I'm sure, because I was not like this before I had Jack. At least i don't think I was.
