I visited the little girl today! She's a beautiful little baby, round and warm, cuddly and cooing the whole time we were there. Mom seems well; confident and tired. Dad is excited to help and share in the new responsibilities, and the tired family seems ready to tackle this exciting life change. Mom and Dad will have many weeks off from work to adjust to their new addition, something they both look forward to and deserve. We are all excited to be a part of this new change.
After the visit my mother asked me if seeing them made me want to have a child. My husband and I are planning to have a family, and to get started in the next few years. And while my friend's experience has certainly made the whole thing that much more real for me, I don't feel any pressure or increased desire after seeing them. I feel confident; prepared both emotionally and psychologically. Our time will come and I'm in no hurry.
