Babies

So... Having a baby, having kids... What does this mean to you? Does it mean something different to each person? Different to moms compared to dads, dads compared to moms? I think to each person it does! Some take it as no big deal, some its the biggest deal ever! I would be @ the second half of that statement! But, I do think people experience emotions and all that comes along with it differently. I would be in awe, crying, laughing, and in love all @ the same time! And feeling more connected to the daddy then ever before too! I would be a mess, but a GREAT mess, in a good way!

Does it bring the parents closer? What if there are other kids already, does it bring them closer as a family? I think the answer to both has got to be yes! As the parents, you now have a joint common goal, besides yourselves. As a family, you now have those brother and sister relationships that were never there before as well! Will there be hard times for the parents? Disagreements over parenting styles? How to raise them? Jealousy from the other child? Stressful times! YES to all! But, in both, you are joining all together and forming a life long bond from that child! You'll both or all have the same goal- to make that child and yourselves and your family have a happy life! So as long as you remember that you can work together to make it great!

I just got to thinking about it today, it just made me think how truly special being pregnant, child birth, and having a baby really is or would be! I am 'such a girl' in this regards, and maybe it took me a long time coming, but I get so emotional on days like today when I see someone else experiencing those joys!

And, not that I'd want to TODAY, but I think being pregnant and going through delivery sounds wonderful! My friends and I sometimes talk about this, and, while as hard as it would be, we are almost jealous of those experiencing it! Again, not that we would today, but you get my point. I definitely, and sooner than later, of course the time being right, want to experience this! I really do and think it would make you appreciate life and all it entails so much more as well!

So, congrats to those who've gone through it, you're great! :)
