One of the most commonly used words when talking about babies is "fun." Aren't babies so much fun? Isn't it just so fun? What a fun night we had! Oh, you'll have so much fun. It is just so much fun raising a baby. These comments can be both sarcastic and sincere. I remember Russ asking me, "Isn't it going to be so much fun to have a baby?" I looked at him like he was crazy, and asked him, "What is so fun about it?" I wasn't trying to be negative; I just tend to look at the things that need to get done...I am very anal...I saw how I would be up half the night, changing diapers, washing many loads of laundry...you get the idea...
Well, I have been thinking about "FUN." I think people use the word fun because there are so many adjectives to explain being a parent: rewarding, joyful, satisfactary, awesomeness (if that is a word), captivating, exilirating, exhausting, tough, constant, and so much more.
What is your adjective(s) to explain having a baby? I know for me- I can't sum it up with the word fun...but if someone asks me...Yes, it is fun having a baby. Just look at that smile--who can resist it or resist smiling back at that handsome little guy...and if you can, just look at his tummy and see if that doesn't make you smile.

The little label over his head on his seat makes him look like he has a halo!!! Little angel.
My word is complete. Matthew makes me complete. It's a sense of fullness, and happiness, even through the exhaustion and frustration, my son is always there and can make any bad feeling go away. There's just nothing like it.
