Hi Brina, If you are uncomfortable with a baby, you can also see it like this: "I will get OVER it".
My mother got an 'afterthought' three years ago while I was still living at home. And I was in the "oh-no-this-thing-will-strangle-my-life-and-destroy-my-sleep" mood for a while. But since I ALWAYS lived with that little critter, I adapted I suppose. There is just ONE problem: I have bacterium phobia. So when I took care of him in the evenings because my mom and her husband wanted some "relief", I had to walk around, carrying him, for about half an hour before he could fall asleep. With him screaming almost constantly, because he didn't WANT to fall asleep, apparently. And then I felt how is saliva oozed down my shirt or whatever I was wearing, and wet my skin. Brrrrrr. Fortunately, he never peed on me, although he threw up over my clothes a few times. One gets used to it rather quickly, though. I have no problem to watch that little beast when they need some relief. And it pays well, since they feel they owe a debt of gratitude to me each time I do it. But I don't think I'd be very good at handling a colic child, or a child of my own. Which is why I don't want children at all, ever. Oh well. Hope it encourage you in some way, ANYWAY. ~Ludwig A.w. --- There is a silence where hath been no sound There is a silence where no sound may be in the cold grave In the cold grave, under the deep deep sea --Thomas Hood (1798-1845)
