Is it just me, or is it inherent in women to coo over babies?
I was stuck in my mother's office for one afternoon this week, and, she was interviewing this acquaintance of hers for a job position. Then all of a sudden, the acquaintance mentioned that she was pregnant, and my mother started cooing, and they had this uber-girly bonding session.
Girl: It was so unexpected, really. I mean, my boyfriend and I dated for ten years, right from college, and then we just got married last November--and, now I'm pregnant.
Mom: Oh, really? You should enjoy that. Babies are such lovely things. And it's the first, so it'll be extra special. They'll spoil you, and pamper you, and give you everything you want.
Tita: And, people are nicer to you, too. They were kind to me for my oral defense.
Me: ........*goes back to sleep on couch*
I don't know. Something about babies and the warm feeling in your chest as you watch them smile at you..can charm just about anyone. And, it's in the little things--those moments when their whole hand clings to your pinky, and when they kick with their itsy-bitsy feet, laughing in that innocent, unspoiled way of theirs. And---how they're so fragile, and they depend on you for care and guidance. They're so..untainted. And...
Just. so. cute.
I don't know; I've always found babies so delicate, though. I'm afraid to carry them. Plus, childbirth and pregnancy sound..painful. Either way, I have claimed numerous godmother privileges from a lot of friends, so.....
