I want a baby.
Wait, what did I just say?
A baby? I want one.
Teenagers and a seven year old, well, they just don’t feel and smell the same as a baby.
The realization of just how badly I want one, it sucker punched me today while I was at my 15 year olds check up. The longing nailed me in my tummy and knocked the wind out of me.
I never signed up for having teenagers. I mean, when I decided to have babies, that’s what I wanted. BABIES.
Fuck if no one ever shared with me that one little secret that they eventually grow into mouthy, smelly teens.
I may have rethunk the whole thing.
In the meantime, I want a baby.
What the heck is wrong with me?
Maybe a mid-life crisis of some sort? Although, I refuse to believe that I’m old enough to be considered mid-life. But, maybe it’s my body letting me know that I’m getting closer to the final countdown. After all, I’m, um…ahem…old now.
Maybe it’s Spring Fever? All the renewals of life, the green grass, the budding trees, the blossoming flowers, the animals copulating. It makes one feel amorous-ish. The ish is because, quite frankly, I’m so flipping tired all the time that, while the thought of amore is nice, the actual act…when I could be sleeping…hmmm…
Realistically, I know that I’m way past my baby prime time. My kids are all older and supposedly it is easier now. Although, whoever told me that it gets easier is a flat out liar and I’d like them hung by their toenails. Don’t let anyone tell you that it gets easier because I’m hear to preach the truth. HELL NO IT DOESN’T.
But oh.
Babies.
I must be out of my ever loving mind.
Really, I only want a baby for a little bit. Like, just a few hours. Which leads me to suspect that it’s just a temporary feeling. That will eventually pass. I just have to do my breathing through it. No pushing required.
Wow though. I don’t remember ever feeling like this, back when I was trying to get pregnant. It wasn’t so much an urge back then as it was a timing thing.
This? Is a definite urge.
Which, I’m going to grit my teeth, clench my jaw, squeeze my legs tightly together to keep my eggs from falling…
And, I’m going to ignore it.
Not that I have anything to worry about because there is always a lid on the fertilizer, if you know what I mean.
Besides, I was already told by the “fertilizer dude” that I’d have to find another guy to do the job.
He…doesn’t want another baby. At all.
And, probably by the time summer comes and things aren’t so springtime euphoric anymore, I won’t want another one either.
Besides, all the smelly, mouthy big kids will be home, all day long, by then.
That? Is PERFECT birth control.
I have 2 – want one? LOL

Shut the hell up!!! Have you been snorting bath salts?? Don’t go cra-cra on me now, girlfriend.
I want a baby too! Despite being totally outnumbered by 3 already and having a husband who travels all the time. I love my kids, but I want a little bitty baby again!
Just find someone’s to play with that you can give back. Like offer babysitting services or something.

Wow! Here I am terrified of having babies and you want more 🙂 I like reading stuff like this, makes me think babies are not terrifying.

I think we all go through that – especially when yours are teens! Because you remember how cuddly and needy they are when they are tiny and helpless. And teens? Well, the aren’t cuddly and needy…..unless they want something.

Be grateful you even have children – there are many couples out there such as my sister and her husband that want babies but can’t.

Teens? Henway says teens make you want more BABIES? Teens are walking, talking (sometimes) living, breathing PROPHYLACTICS! Teens are enough to make you invent a time machine so you can go back in time and get a vasectomy. Or at least wear (ugh) a lid.

This is EXACTLY how I felt before I had my first one. Now they’re 17 and just about to turn 20. I also had feelings like this right before the final countdown. Now that I’ve been through the final countdown, I don’t have feelings like this anymore. Thank God

Missy, at least you have daughters who talk to you (sometimes) my boys hardly talk to me anymore, forget cuddling! I want a baby too, but just like you for few hours!

I became a mother for the second time around at 42. I love my girl but I am officially cured of that longing. I am in a babysitting co-op. I get my fix and move on.
