Before I begin, everybody take a deep breath. This post absolutely does not mean that Travis and I are 1. Having a baby or 2. Trying to have a baby, neither is true.
Neither am I seriously considering dropping out of school, I’m just sick of midterms and getting up every day, and stupid, freaking generals.
(It has recently come to my attention that SOME people take all the things I write on my blog to be literal and completely accurate. Please know that as a teenager my father called me the Queen of Hyperbole. That might still stand true.)
Now, on to the post…
Most of you know that it is almost impossible for me to pass a baby (especially a cute one) without pulling faces at it, and that if I’m sitting in church with a baby across the aisle, I pull out all the stops and try to get that baby to come play with me instead of its parents.
I’ve recently starting going through home videos and really most of them so far are of Kathryn, just a few months old. I cannot stop watching the videos. After Travis and I watched a video just of Kathryn cooing and gurgling for forty-five minutes (Really, it’s VERY hard to stop. She’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen.) Travis said “What is it about being married that makes people want to have a baby?”
To that I add, “Who knows? but no freaking kidding.”
We saw a preview for a baby movie before the Wild Things (which was brilliant, BTW) and it made me cry, because I love babies.
Oh my goodness. This is a hard week because I want a baby to play with, even if it’s not mine, and I absolutely do NOT want to get up and go to school.
All of a sudden I COMPLETELY understand women who drop out of school to start making babies after they get married.
I even have a mad desire to JOIN them.
Keep your pants on. That’s not what I’ll do. I WANT a degree.
But you know, it wouldn’t be so bad if I got a baby.
In fact, I say it’d be kinda nice.
I LOVE this picture. I'm completely crazy about it.

When you said "Most of you know that it is almost impossible for me to pass a baby," I immediately thought of kidney stones. I was surprised that you would compare giving birth to passing kidney stones. But I understand now. It still makes me giggle.
OHMY. Paige. I thought the same thing.
But someday, my dear Beck, you will have babies. And they will be the sweetest little things in the world.
And I lovelovelove that picture.
....also, I admit that a teeny-tiny selfish part of me wishes you would drop out of school to have babies for me to play with. But only a tiny part.
DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paige is so funny! I'm glad your having fun watching family videos. I'm in no hurry for you to have a baby and I'm certain you are not ready for that kind of pain! Any way you make me laugh.
Oh I remember the days of you sharing beautiful baby names with me. From that notebook.
It was a great time.
I loved that bathroom, by the way.
I still talk about Kathryn as "oh my cute baby sister" to other people... when people correct me she is not a baby anymore. But she is my baby! my babe! my babyyyyy!!!
you are my fav babe. haha
Lisa you are so cute, I still call her baby sometimes to, but now she corrects me : )
Becky you can't have a baby till i'm married and can have babies so then they will be the same age and forced to be best buddies : )
how long have you been married, again?
okay, a little below the belt.
because sometimes i want babies too. but then i think about their poop and their crying and i think, okay, yes, i can wait.
