If I Weren't This Old....

Seriously.

If I weren't this old, I just might be tempted to try for another baby.

I'm sure Mike would have something to say about that, and luckily for him, I AM this old so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Tristan is going away to college in 10 days. Rebecca and Timothy do not need me like they used to. Frankly, I don't think they like me all that much, but I keep telling myself that's normal. It is normal, right?

Anyway, there is a slight, and I mean slight, yearning to have another baby. I keep remembering what it was like to hold their little, warm bodies close to mine. And their tiny little clothes! I loved the tiny clothes. And the way they smelled. You mothers know what I'm talking about. That baby smell that only lasts a little while, but you never forget it.

And what about the baby shower? That was always the best part about being pregnant. The personalized baby stuff that everyone brought as gifts to celebrate the new bundle? Love, love, LOVE the baby shower!

Ah well......I'm sure the yearning will soon pass. I know it's just a phase. I don't really want another baby.

I just miss the ones I already have.
