Baby Fever
I wish Levi was this little again!
I’ve been looking at Levi’s baby pictures lately and I’m still in shock regarding how much he’s grown and developed! I’m trying to see the differences in his size, shape and face and I just can’t believe I didn’t notice him growing right in front of me from birth up until now.
It’s crazy to think that you just notice one day how much they’ve grown and you miss the days, those short-lived days, of when they needed mommy’s help just to hold their heads up… I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I’m coming down with a case of baby fever!
I’m not ready to have another baby yet, though some women pop them out one after another like clockwork. No, no, not me, I’m still trying to get my high school figure back! BUT, friends around me are pregnant and some have newborns and I catch myself wishing that Levi was that little again. I remember when Blake would do the “football hold” with Levi and he was only as long as him arm. Now, if he were to do it I’m pretty sure Levi’s legs would hang down to Blake’s hips. When I held him, I could pretty much cross my arms and he could fit; now I have to extend my elbows out and have my palms touching.
Don’t get me started on how much heavier his car seat is now when he’s in it. I miss the days when he was only 8 pounds 8 ounces, 20.5 inches long and only a couple of days old. I’d give anything to relive the first time I saw him, I don’t think any moment could top that one. I was in a state of shock and I was feeling emotionless at the time, but if I could go back I think I would ball my eyes out because I would be so happy instead of in shock, knowing what I know now that is.
I wonder how long this baby fever will last, because I know I’m not ready to be on diaper duty for two babies at the same time any time soon…
When’s a good time to start planning a second baby?
