the baby fever

I have two college friends who are expecting in the next 6 months. I have five [FIVE!] friends from my small group who have had babies in the past 9 months. I have a niece who was born in January.

My loins yearn for the babies.

It seems preemptive to think about motherhood without a partner in crime life.

Oh, being single. I love and loathe you all at the same time.

I'm in a love phase right now.

Mostly because I can barely keep my own life straight and I can't imagine trying to fit getting to know someone else and keeping his life straight too. Sheesh.

Of course some of you are thinking, "For the right person....blah blah blah." Yes, for the right person I'm sure time would magically appear. He'd also fart rainbows and butterflies. *fingers crossed* True life confession: if you tell me you have someone you want me to meet I will internet stalk him. I have no shame. The conclusion you can draw from this is that I'm basically nuts, because what kind of sense does that make? I just said that I like being single, but if you mention "oh, I want you to meet _______," I'm instantly online trying to figure out who this person is, what he looks like, and his profession. Cray-cray=me.

Needless to say, my baby fever is gone. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Unless I squeeze a baby, then my uterus is like, "Hey, what's up, amy?" and I'm like, "No, uterus, no. Go back to bed."

So, my uterus is in semi-forced hibernation. I'll let you know when she's ready to come back out to torment me.

BTW: we're having a debate [i.e. my SIL and I are having a competition], what do you call the thing I'm doing behind The Niece's ear? I'm fluttering my lips and blowing air making a sounds like "pfffffffft." She thinks it's hilarious.

  3. I don't have to tell you that you don't need a baby or a man to be happy. It looks like you have many babies in your life that you can hold and then give them back to their respective parents. :)

    1. and I LOVE THOSE BABIES!

      I don't think I need a man to be happy, but it's hard to not long for someone to share your life with. (-: I'm definitely not having a baby for my personal happiness either, sounds like a recipe for disaster!

  4. My ovaries keep exploding too. Aww, Aww, AWW! So Cute!

    I want babies. Sigh.

    Maybe it is a flibbert. Because a raspberry is a wetter sound, and a zurbert is actually contact... usually on the stomach.

    Also, I don't think I can make that sound. it is either ineffectual or too violent to be next to a baby's ear.

    1. hahah! you're cracking me up Kathy!

      I grew up calling them zerberts (zurberts?) and I said that to Abby and she looked at me like I was speaking Greek. ha! I think I can do it softly/gently from years of vocal warm-ups, we always did the lip trilling for breath control. (-:

      babies. one of the many delights God has bestowed upon us!

  5. Hilarious Amy! Raspbery is my vote. Maybe Zerberts/Zuberts is German? :)

    1. thanks, Lori! I think raspberry is more common...I've been told that zerbert came from Bill Cosby, but I don't know where he got it. it does sound German, you should do some research! (-:
