Baby

Molly

We're made to make babies. I get it. But it still seems so novel every time it happens.

It starts with the "I'm pregnant" conversation. After so many years of false alarms it's hard to believe that your friend is actually pregnant.

Then you get to watch her grow and it's strange how normal it begins to feel. You start to think 9 months is going to last forever - it's easy to forget there's a baby at the end of it all. It's all about the pregnancy, the feelings, the anxiety, and the blunt, yet fascinating, conversations about vaginas.

And then one day you get a text saying "she's here" and it's kind of full circle back to the "I'm pregnant" conversation. Because you just can't quite wrap your head around the fact that just yesterday your dear friend was telling you an everyday story about shopping at the grocery store and today - today, she has a baby.

I'm glad you're here, Molly. The whole world is glad you're here.

It is truly amazing how fast it came full circle and the realization that I created a human. A human being.

Congrats to Hallie. It is HUGE. I had my girl 6 weeks ago and I am still trying to wrap my head around it all.

Babies! Lil humans! I can't help but fall in love every time I meet one. They also blow my mind!

Babies are gross and I hate them.

She is beautiful!

Life is definitely never the same once they are here; my beautiful little girl arrived 8 years ago on Saturday and I'm still in shock. Just waiting for the adventure when her little brother arrives at the end of March!

What a beautiful post. Sigh. I'm finally trying. I'm scared, sad, anxious and happy.

Congrats to the new parents and hugs and kisses for Molly the Cutie.

You said that perfectly.

Born to be a mother, kathleen.
