If I see a baby,I need a baby but, I never want a baby again.

If I had a list of top 22 favorite people,I PROMISE my kids would be way up there with my husband, my best girlfriends, Mr Jack white (of the White strips) My sister-in-laws, the garbageman who for two years I might add, put my cans back in my garage for me.........Ok, WAIT...................I have gotten way off topic. What I was going to say is, I love my kids and they are the best but,I do not want another single person or animal to take care of ever again. You cant really blame me, after all I do have three children ages 6 and 4 and 2 plus, a husband and two stupid birds (that no one in our family likes we just keep them out of guilt) Anyways,This week one of my most truly great girlfriends gave birth to a perfectly beautiful tiny little soul. When I went to the hospital to see her,she was peaceful yet, ragged, tired,and in dreadful amounts of pain from being cut in half but,as we sat it her hospital room, being paranoid we might get cough drinking wine,I could see her smile as she stared at her new son, full of love for someone she only just met hours ago,I was reminded of that instant loves I had with my babies there in that same room. That was the first time since I was a mother, I realised I was ok with ending that chapter and that I would never have another baby, yet was so thankful she share her moment with me and, hope to witness it again, if only when my own babies enter there adventure of parenthood.
