So as many of you know, I am so looking forward to my three weeks in May as chief child care provider for my then three month old niece. I love spending time with little babies. They are just so sweet, and unlike my three year nephew (whom I love!!!!) they don't need so much active attention and can't talk. But they can listen. My niece is an especially gifted listener. She stares and makes cooing noises and looks so damned earnest. I will have her on Friday for a few hours while my brother and sister-in-law deal with a small medical procedure. I plan to bring her to campus and introduce her to the office. We'll see.
We have been talking about possibly having our own little baby. Right now simply would not be convenient. I want to be able to enjoy my niece and nephew and not have to split time with my own kid. Also, I have a young and crazy puppy who would not do well with a baby. Not sure he ever would. I am about to turn 35 and realize that my clock is ticking, but I am not about to panic and rush something that I am comfortable without right now.
