Nope. I don't think I'll ever get rid of that baby bug.

Someone I work with (an "older" grandma, baby nut) said it will pass. When she was younger, she also LOVED babies and everything about it and never felt "done" for quite awhile. But she told me that, like everything else in life, "this too shall pass".

I'm not sure if I believe her yet...'cuz there are some days when I would LOVE another baby. However...I'm not sure I REALLY want another one.

We've considered doing foster care for newborns...just not sure if we're ready to expose our family to everything that goes along with fostering, yet.

 Im so glad im not the only nutty one out there.  I know its probably still post partum/hormone related for me too.

 Fostering Newborns...I have never heard of that.  That is something to ponder in the future.  A bit too much for me right now with a 3 month old.  

I always said I wanted to adopt.  Adding to this world is so wonderful but there are so many children out there who need a home.  I wish it wasnt so darn expensive! 

Thanks Mama M!  

You're welcome!!

Another co-worker of mine fosters newborns. 

I'm also somewhat afraid of getting too attached. Selfish, I know...but there it is!

Christine...what is medical fostering, exactly? Sounds intriguing! And, yeah...hands full over here too!

I just keep thinking of what a wonderful thing we'd be doing to help a child out...

Ugh...Christine, I KNOW!!

I've been checking and checking! No idea when I'm gonna get my post done for tomorrow!

Stoopid Blogger. 

My hands are plenty full around this house too.  With 4 boys 6 1/2 and under.  Im crazy!  I would love to help another child have a better life.  I am with you Mama M on being afraid of getting too attached.  I have enjoyed the whole pregnancy/childbirth experience and have also thought of being a surrogate.  What a wonderful gift to give someone.  Im just not sure of my mental state afterwards.  I've had post partum issues after each child.  

I will just have to look into it all in the distant future.  

Oh and blogger is still down!!!  UGH!  I havent posted in awhile.  I have been adjusting to 4 kiddos and making changes with my blog.  The day i decide to get things started blogger goes down for a huge length of time.  

I feel like all yall just took the thoughts out of my head.  Every last one of them.  I just brought home my 4th baby in 4 years and I'm already lamenting her infancy and wondering, "what if"...? you know? 

But seriously, I can't.

But I want.

And fostering?  Oh good grief, I'd love nothing more but I get attached to kids I read about through blogs and get way too emotionally involved and my children love with their whole hearts and I can't imagine what they'd do if we weren't a forever home... maybe when they're older.  But I can see myself being someone who adopts like 50 kids and has a HUGE household.  But I love giving birth.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?

Melis, if there is something wrong with you, then the same thing is wrong with me!

I LOVE labor and delivery. Strange, I know...but, really, is there any greater feeling than that final release when you push that sweet babe out into the world?!

Great. Now I want another one. Again.

I'm completely happy with just two girls and I have no desire to have more children.  That being said, I am NOT ready for permanent birth control yet.  Don't know why because I'm done having children but there is something about that permanency I can't do right now.

I'm a pediatric nurse who works with babies on a daily basis so I can easily get my baby fix whenever I want!

Oh, Jamie!! I wish I could say the same!

Being around all those babies at MY job just makes it worse for me! I want to bury my nose in their sweet little necks and smell that newborn scent...but I'm afraid that the parents will stand with their mouths hanging open, all "Did that nurse just steal a smell of our newborn?!"

Gah...wish my job provided me with my baby fix! ;)
