I have never liked babies as much as I like my own kid.
She is terrific and makes me relate to and like other kids so much more.
Of course I love children enough to have one of my own but there was always a streak of expectation while I was holding a baby that the child would be put-off by something I would inevitably do: laugh or sneeze.
My volume level naturally is about an 8 so my sneezes and sudden laughter is quite loud as well. I can't help it. But babies don't like these noises that I make, they cry after I make them, and then I want to cry because I didn't mean to frighten them.
Well, my baby doesn't care. She has been toted around in my womb long enough to be desensitized by my sneezes and guffaws so much so that she doesn't even flinch at the most sudden and powerful of my sneezes. She might just yawn and continue to look around, or if she is sleeping she continues to sleep some more.
She knows me. Like no other baby. It makes me feel good in a small but very important way.
Aw, this is so sweet. She definitely knows you and loves you like no one else ever will.
ReplyDeleteawww so cute!! your baby definitely loves you and feels comforted by you..even if you get loud ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh because I have a friend who is SO loud. She sneezes so loud it makes you jump. She shrieks at everything and seems to have no volume control. Good to know when she gets pregnant her baby will acclimate along the way ;)
