Even though my youngest will be 13 this year,and even though I do enjoy the freedom I have, and even though I know--realistically--my body was done, I still get the baby craving. Fortunately I have lots of friends' babies to cuddle.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984938560695736640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-72994952840879777602008-08-25T16:21:00.000-05:002008-08-25T16:21:00.000-05:00Glenda -I put my personal feelings about this post...Glenda -<BR/>I put my personal feelings about this post on my blog. However, I was just talking to Mom and she suggested that you start watching a baby like she does. She says its the perfect medicine for the "baby cravings". Hope this helps!

I appreciate your honest feelings, especially since I seem to run with a crowd of women all tired of the "baby thing" and ready to have their babies grow up a bit.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046408231627202753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-24860938628775283952008-08-24T15:00:00.000-05:002008-08-24T15:00:00.000-05:00Glenda,I'm joining you all too.

We have one member of our church who just had a little boy a couple weeks ago, another member due in a month and another one due in December. I'm very thankful for our three yet, I LOVE babies. I did get to hold and snuggle one baby this afternoon - that was wonderful! <BR/><BR/>I don't think my body can handle any more - I've had heart palpitations, and they are worse during pregnancy so I fear trying again.<BR/><BR/>We have considered adopting someday. Who knows. But, I totally understand the desire for babies! And yes, I think - finally we have home schooling kind of going nicely on most days - I must be crazy to even think about a baby!<BR/><BR/>We'll all just have to pray for each other!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238061732001107366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-79897428112374275262008-08-24T14:09:00.000-05:002008-08-24T14:09:00.000-05:00Wow!

Well now, every time I feel the ache, I'll pray for all of you too.<BR/><BR/>Aubrey - cool blog! I saw what your parents went through with adopting Alair and have other friends in various stages of the same. Seeing all that heartache, and emotional roller coaster,I simply don't think I could handle it.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707408587652111070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-4165682996371165182008-08-23T21:37:00.000-05:002008-08-23T21:37:00.000-05:00I can relate to what you're saying Glenda!

We've tried to accept that... only that desire never seems to completely go away.<BR/><BR/>This post has really reassured me that we're not alone in that longing to have a babe in arms.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your courage in sharing this post!AmusedMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233027710032771395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-18282658762299861242008-08-23T18:36:00.000-05:002008-08-23T18:36:00.000-05:00That's why my folks adopted Alair when Erik was in...That's why my folks adopted Alair when Erik was in high school.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14140945085304299278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32588283.post-17276064189182670762008-08-23T18:02:00.000-05:002008-08-23T18:02:00.000-05:00I know exactly how you feel, okay not exactly beca...I know exactly how you feel, okay not exactly because I <I>am</I> nursing as-I-type, but this baby is to be the last one and he is growing up way too fast.

I love my grandchildren even though my body is well past being able to chase a child all the hours a toddler takes.

But as I get farther away from those baby days I find myself wishing more often than not that God would surprise us one more time with another.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'll just wait for grandchildren.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092781044708089627noreply@blogger.com
