Babies, Babies, Babies!

When you’re 27 and been married for 3 and half years, people are always giving you a hard time about babies.  I don’t mind it too much, but the fact is that I’m not sure where we stand on the idea of kids.  Our life right now has no room in it for children, but even more so is that WE still feel like kids.  We have so much fun running off for the weekend if we want to, we can go out any night of the week, and with as little time as we get together anyway, we both feel very selfish about our time.  We’re just not ready.

But I am enjoying watching friends of mine go through the exciting life changes with preganancies, babies, first days of school, baby model shoots….  I get to hold babies whenever I want, I love getting pictures on email of babies’ firsts, I love hearing the entertaining stories about what they’re saying or doing. 

This weekend I went to a baby shower for my friend Shayla.  I haven’t ever been to a shower this intimate before, as there were only 6 of us, but it was a whole lot of fun and the amount of people turned out to be perfect!  We all made scrapbook pages to be filled with pictures once Baby Girl arrives, we ate great food, and we watched the present opening.  Best of all, Shayla Jr. gets two more showers before she arrives! 

Here’s the fruit pizza I made for the party (sadly I was stuck in the house today with all of the leftovers.  Poor me!).  OK, OK, truthfully Ryan decorated it, and isn’t it beautiful??

Shayla also received a present from far away.  KC, did you make this?!  It is Hawaiian girl themed to match the new nursery.  So sweet!

So, while we’re not anywhere close to having little ones ourselves, I sure am having fun watching everyone else do it.  And in the meantime, we’ll keep ‘practicing’ just in case.  ;-)
