our friends with the new baby called a while ago. it seems that they have been hosting an endless parade of relatives and out-of-town friends all weekend. it's hard to ease into becoming a new family when you have so much static from the outside! of course, everyone is well-meaning. i guess they're too nice to say, "okay - it was nice to see you. now go home."
we have yet to meet the new daughter, even though we're just 5 minutes away. but just hearing the baby over the phone and listening to the dad tell me how tired he is made me nauseous. if God has plans for me to be a mother again, there's nothing i can do about it. but the captain and i do everything necessary to prevent any "accidents." i just can't see myself doing the infant thing all over again.
i'm sure their baby girl will be an enormous blessing to the family and they'll never regret having her. but it was kind of sad when i heard jealousy in the dad's voice when i told him that we went to the zoo today. he kind of sighed and said, "i like to go to the zoo."
