My birthday was last week and I really would like to blog about it complete with pictures and video but I haven't taken the time to upload to youtube, upload to photobucket etc. Birthday blog is coming and will be fabulous. I hope.
My sister came to Albuquerque today. And she brought my niece with her. Baby Savannah is almost six weeks old now. I am so amazed at how tiny she still is. I am overcome with love for this baby that doesn't even belong to me. She's just my niece and she doesn't live here. It is amazing to me that I can love her so much and not even know her. And then she starts to whimper and fuss and I cannot wait to get away from her. New babies really stress me out. They are really squirmy and they have no muscle control. And they whimper and whine. And now I'm worried that I'm going to be a horrible mother. I so hope that I can figure this out.

I worry about the same thing. They always say it's better when it's your own kids. Plus, I know tons of moms who don't completely love one stage or another. Mine will aparently be newborn baby phase, but toddlers and teenagers I adore. So go figure.
Yeah, it's totally different with your own. They don't bug you as much. You're exhausted, spent, frazzled, etc. But you just love that baby so much. And weirdly, I have so much more patience for my own child. Most of the time anyway... He'll be behaving horribly, and then I'll look at him, see how cute he is, remember how much I wanted him, and then it's easy to get over his attitude problem.
I'm SO glad you got to finally meet little Savannah! Enjoy!
