It was scary. We went to my work's Christmas party this evening and had a really great time, but the evening ended on a strange note.Heidi was talking to one of my co-workers, Rebecca who just had a baby recently and she was holding the baby, talking about the baby, etc. Apparently she said something about how I will never hold a baby, because although I wasn't really paying attention, next thing I know there was a baby being thrust into my arms.
Rebecca, who is kinda a blunt type of person, said the best way to do it was to just thrust the child upon me and make me deal with it. It was a little startling, but somehow I managed to not drop it and she didn't even cry. Sure, this baby was unbelievably calm and I'm sure mine will not be the same way, but still I guess it was nice to know that I didn't break it.
To be honest, it wasn't bad at all, but I still think that I'm gonna have a tough time dealing with it, simply for the fact that I'm too impatient. Every time I try to hold a living creature, my ADD kicks in and I just get the urge to move around and re-situate myself. I do the same thing with my cats.
I guess it's just one of the hundreds of things I'm gonna have to get used to.

The good thing about babies, at least for you, is that they like a change of scenery, and will love to get a walk around. :) You two will be wonderful! You'll figure it out. ;)
