Yesterday I got to see my SIL's new baby for the first time. They got her out of her carseat and handed her to me. As I took her I was surprised by my emotions. I felt the sting of tears coming to my eyes. What the heck? Mind you, I don't usually cry when I hold a newborn, except my own when I first see them. I was caught off guard by the surge of emotions I was feeling. Was it happiness for my sister in law and her husband having their first baby?( I am certainly happy for them.) Was it because Tyson and I have decided 4 is enough and I was mourning the thought that I was probably not having any more of my own little bundles of joy? Was it because I don't have a little girl of my own. Honestly I'm not sure. The only thing I'm sure about is that I have no idea where the emotion came from.
I'm not posting this to say I need to have another baby. But, holding that little sweet baby girl made me feel all weepy and emotional. I can imagine the fear and panic in Tyson's eyes when I started to cry while I was holding her! ;)

Melissa,now I'm dying to know what your whole big comment was. I guess you'll have to tell me in person sometime.
