MIA

I've been a little MIA the last week or so.....I however have a really great excuse! I've been working my butt off for work - now that the Plunge is over, I can kick my feet up and relax a little more and this past weekend I did just that!

I was overly excited that on Sunday I was getting to spend some time with my good friends Megan and Steph. Steph and Mike just had a little baby girl and she is perfect! I've gotten to see their sweet little baby before but both time was never able to hold or love on her (once was a chance meeting in Target and the other time while I was working the Plunge). I just have to say....I forgot just how much I love myself a little baby. I'm pretty sure it showed that I was over the moon happy to be holding, feeding, burping and talking to their 2 month old. I may have even offered to quit my job and be their nanny......

Really what is there NOT to love about a baby? I remember when Samantha and Balin were both really young - I would beg my sister to let me feed them, change them and give them bathes. Basically, I wanted to care for them 24/7 and I loved it. I even enjoyed the 4am feedings - it's just the two of you and it's such a special time. A time that I have with the both of them that I will hold close to my heart always. As they grow and become "less cute" and do things that make me shake my head - I will always remember that there once was a sweet human in that body and that one day, they will return. My Nephew Balin is still super sweet....my the 17 year old Samantha, well she's 17. You get the point.

Anyway, back to my friends sweet baby.....I really can't wait to hold her again. I will more than likely be calling and begging Steph to allow me to come over and give her a break. I can't wait to have my very own little ones someday soon - God willing.
