New Babies

I just love new babies. I love the way they feel, look, and sometimes even smell. I love the way that they are trying to figure you out just as much as you are trying to figure them out. I love watching them grow and learn each new milestone. They really are amazing creatures. It has been said the infant brain grows and learn more in the first year than it does at any other time in its whole life. I totally believe that to be true. From learning how to breath to talk, to walk, it is all just amazing.
I also love the way my family has grown with each new child. They all bring so much to the family. They change the family in so many ways. But, I can also say that I love that my family is complete. I knew that I wanted more than 1 child, and yet I never knew just how many more. Well, my husband decided that number to be 2 kids.
As I held my friends new baby girl tonight I thought... was I meant to have only 2 kids? I just love babies so much, was I really meant to have only 2 kids? Then I came home to my 2 kids.. 3 and 6 years old.. not babies anymore. As I tuck them in for the night and give them their kisses, I realize that I have the right family. I dont know how another baby would fit into this mix. And I wont ever know (and if we do find out then Dans doctor has some serious explaining to do). But I am ok with that. I love babies, but I am also in love with the 2 kids I have and the joy they bring me. It is great to be done with the baby phase and on to the kid years. I love seeing their faces when they try to figure out this world we live in and where they fit. I just know that they fit right here in my arms, even if they overflow my arms and dont fit in the crook of my elbow any more. As much as I love babies, I am so happy with the 2 kids I have now.
