It's amazing
After meating baby Violet yesterday afternoon I am all...I dunno. I came home and cuddled my little munchkin. Dh went to visit after work (no babies allowed visiting at the hospital so we couldn't go at the same time) and when he came home he was all distracted too.
My friend was so happy and tired. She said "I can't sleep. Everytime I close my eyes my mind just keeps going. I can't believe she is here." She kept talking about it and I it felt like it wasn't that long ago that I had that feeling. That it wasn't that I couldn't sleep, but that I didn't want to. I just wanted to stay awake all night looking at my baby. I came home and looked at pictures of Scarlett when she was that young (i had said small then thought, no Scarlett was never that small lol) I teared up. Those first days in the hospital are so euphoric. I am too happy for my friend to know she gets to feel this way. Her husband is so attentive too. He is being adorable. He wants to snuggle with his wife and hates that she is in pain. At the same time he wants to just sit and hold his little baby. SO much so that my friend has hardly held the baby at all.
It's an amazing thing to sit and watch your friends go through something so wonderful and know exactly how they feel. To know that the next few weeks are going to be super hard but that the ride just gets more amazing as the baby develops. Do I want another one just yet? No. I still think I want to wait a few more months before I make that decision. For a while I wasn't sure if I even wanted another one. I always wanted a huge family but after Scarlett was born I thought, "why would I ever want to make her have to share this kind of love?" After yesterday I know for sure that I want another baby. Listening to baby VIolet cry and seeing the look on their faces whenever they looked at her, I knew I wanted more.
No real point to this post. Just had to share.
