A day for the babies
Sunday, April 12, 2009 at 8:47PM I was always told that holidays are great, but that they're really for kids. Since my siblings and I were the youngest ones in the family until recently, we were basically "the kids" and I really did love holidays. But now, with my two nephews, I get it. The best parts of my day involved playing with my two nephews and watching them "open" their Easter baskets. They're both too little to understand about opening presents, but they both loved their new toys.
It's still weird to think about having a baby of our own, but I'm really starting to feel like, "Okay, yeah, we could manage that and it feels like it would fit." I have never EVER thought before that a baby fit into my life - seriously, never - and was fine thinking that one might never fit... but today I had a weird feeling. As we left my parents' house, I felt weird that we were just leaving, the two of us, as my sister and her husband left with TJ. Then later, at my in-laws house, after my sister-in-law and brother-in-law left with little David, the house felt kind of empty. It felt weird not having a baby around. Does this mean we should have one of our own? Well, no, not right now; we have to time it right in regards to work and school and make sure we have income... but it's not the terrible and scary thought it used to be... and that in itself is practically scary.
