I wonder how John is going to feel when I go home Monday and ask him for one.
Seriously...
Ohhhhhhhhhhh my gosh. I am SO in love with Aidan, my friend's new baby boy who turned one week old today. 110% MADLY in love.
He is a perfect baby. Totally perfect. Did I mention that I love him?
I go over to Renee's house and get to just hold him. Pure and simple. He sleeps and eats. Not much else yet. They SAY he cries, but I haven't heard him, but then again I haven't been there at 3 a.m. I still don't believe them. Cause he's too perfect. A baby that perfect would never cry. ;)
Anyway, I go and I hold him. Sometimes I give him a bottle and I just close my eyes and listen to his sounds... his suckling and sighs... and it takes me right back to when I had my own newborns to love and hold. Only it's better now cause I'm not insanely exhausted and my nipples aren't cracked and I know I'll get 8 hours of sleep tonight... ha ha ha. I just get to hold a tiny little perfect sighing bundle and then hand him over and go my merry way. Although he's REALLY hard to hand over.
Yes, I love him.
It is almost frightening at times to hold someone else's baby and find yourself under their spell... because you start thinking in the back of your mind, "Hmmm, I could do this again." And then you remember... that big "V" word. Yeah, I guess we're out of commission. Sigh.
Probably a good thing cause otherwise I'd be SOOOOOOO tempted... and then when I was about 7 months pregnant and came to my senses I'd be saying, "WHY THE HELL did we do this again?!?!" Ha ha ha ha.
I guess I'll just have to settle for loving Aidan. And I do. With my whooooooooole heart.
I will post pictures of him soon, when I am done holding him. But for now, I'd rather hold him than my camera. :) No contest.
He's perfect. I am so happy for my friends. I think their family is complete now. They needed Aidan. He knows that. You can just tell.

Take a deep breath...a really deep breath. Babies are adorable. No question. But be real. They grow up....and one day they're thirteen. Believe me, it happens.
