Day 17: I'm catching baby fever...

Not much more to say than that. I was lucky enough to get to spend some more time with my two best girls AND Heather's adorable twin boys! I got girl time and baby time all in one weekend!! I can't believe how much they've grown since I first saw them in April, and how much they've each developed their own personality. Watching Heather as a mother is so natural, and just so Heather. She's found her groove and her own way of being herself and a mommy. I'm in awe of how she does it all with not one but two infants. And, spending an afternoon with her and her family couldn't not tug on those cravings for a little slice of what she has. I know I've said I'm not ready, that there's plenty more I want to do for me, and that's still true...to a degree. I think I'm a secret min-van driving, diaper bag carrying, cooking dinner soccer mom at heart and I'm just waiting for that opportunity to let it free. To be a parent and essentially help grow another human being, to want the best for them, and put them first, to instill your beliefs and push them to strive for the best, and then watch them become the best of you but with their own uniqueness, there can't be a feeling that beats that. I don't know when it will happen, but I know I want that chance. It might be weeks, months, years off, but it will happen.
