Last night M and I finally were able to go meet baby Asher.  He is just adorable.  So cute and small.  I’ve heard some stories about him from friends but it was fun to see him wiggle and squirm.  I took a few pics of him but I haven’t looked through them yet.  I doubt I got anything really good.  But I might can work a few out.

It’s funny how one day he wasn’t here and the next he was.  Lately M and I have had more and more baby talks lately.  We are waiting until we are married and then all bets are off.  Seeing baby Asher last night has really made me start to think.  OMG!!!!!!!!!!  Babies change everything.  ALOT!  I know that we are going to be so excited to finally have a baby but it’s almost overwhelming.  I think what’s ever more overwhelming are all the “rules” that babies now come with.  You must keep the room 68 degrees, they can’t sleep on their tummies, breast milk is best not frozen…..the list seriously goes on and on and on.  I wonder how we have made it so long not knowing all the “rules”.  Oh that’s right, our grandparents, and even our parents, didn’t have some of these crazy rules.  It’s really sad that our society is so sue happy we must “rule” every little thing to death.

I mean in some countries women just have babies.  That’s it.  I must say that I never want to do anything to put my child in harms way but really, when is it enough?  When is it too much?  I guess I won’t make too many judgments until I start actually planning for a baby.  Then I’m sure I will be on the “are you serious?!?!” bandwagon.

Happy hump day!
