With all the excitement of the past couple of days I completely forgot about my little blog here. A good friend of mine that I work with had her baby last night. She was just past 35 weeks pregnant. Everyone is fine though, her first child was also born this early. We’ve just about decided that her body is just not designed to hold them in any longer than that.

This second baby is a girl so she has done much better with lung development than her first child, a boy. I wonder why little girls fair better in those things. The weaker sex my ass, we even start life stronger. :P I told my friend a couple of months ago that I just knew when she had this baby that I was gonna hold her and then that damn baby bug was gonna bite all over again.

I saw myself holding that tiny little newborn and getting all gung ho to put baby number two on the fast track. You know what…totally didn’t happen. Oh don’t get me wrong, she is the cutest little thing you’ll ever see but I am so, so, SO very happy she isn’t mine.

I realized I am just not ready to have a newborn again. No way man! TOO SOON. I certainly like the idea of having another baby but the reality is that I’m really only just starting to feel somewhat like myself again. I vaguely remember that person and I think I sort of missed her. Boog sleeps all night and he’s getting older and more communicative every day. I want to enjoy that a little longer before tossing myself back into the sleepless masses.

On a completely side note…my friend had next to no pain with her first delivery. I always sort of felt like a wimp when recounting the immense pain I was in during my labor. Well, this time she got a taste of that thing called the un-medicated birth. Her epidural wore off about 2 hours before the baby was born and she went from 7cm to 10 in an hour and a half. Oh boy is she singing a different tune about childbirth today. I had to chuckle and give her a big ‘ole “been there done that.” Needless to say, she’s saying this will be the last. She said that before as well but I’m pretty sure she definitely means it now.
