Better Together

When people are around parents with a baby, they often want to take the baby off the parents' hands. "Oh let me help you out and give you a break." But most of the time, I don't want a break. Maybe when we have 2 or 3 kids; I'll probably LOVE the help then. But if I'm sitting there with my baby in the same room, and I'm not cooking or going to the bathroom or something, I'm gonna want her. I think it's just in a Momma's bones - especially a first time Momma. I don't care what else is going on, or how interesting it may be. If I'm with my baby, it just feels right with her in my arms. It's comfortable. It's bliss. I know I have to share her and let her spend time with family and friends when we're all hanging out together, but there's always this unease, this feeling of nakedness when I see her with someone else (other than her Dad). I just know that these first 5 months have flown by, and I guess I want to soak up all the holding, cuddling, and snuggling I can while she's still in baby-town. Don't get me wrong, it makes me happy to see her bring joy to other people and see her learn to interact with other people - she loves it and it warms my heart. But what can I say? It's always better when we're together :)

bliss.
