This is my nephew Gage!


I'm keeping him overnight while his mom and dad celebrate their anniversary. I love having him here, but at the same time, it's kind of hard too. Here I am still not pregnant, seriously starting to wonder if I ever will be, and playing with this little boy, desperately wishing I was playing with one of my own instead. It's not so bad around most babies, but Gage really cuts me deep. My angel Norma Marie would have been a week or two older than him. Every time I see him do something new, it reminds me that Norma should be doing it too. I should be hearing the baby coos and the Mama's and Dada's. I should have a crawler now. I should have one that is seven months old. Instead......I babysit.


He sure is cute though, isn't he?

He is absolutely adorable Steph. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I so wish it was your baby you were holding. I know how much it hurts. I seriously hope that soon you will be awaiting your own baby's arrival.

I completely understand. I babysit three kids, youngest 3 months old. She melts my heart, but at times rips it apart. (I cant hardly type this without welling up w/ tears) because I know exactly what kind of pain your feeling. I am so sorry.
