BABY FEVER AAAUUUGGHHH!!!!

I can honestly say that the baby fever has now reached an all time record high.  This baby is all I think about 24/7 and yes I do mean 24 hours a day because there is no sleeping and when I do catch a nap I'm dreaming about her.  When I think of Tom and Dillon I think of them with the baby, holding the baby, feeding the baby (not changing the baby I'm not delusional). 

I have mentioned that I found these 2 wonderful friends down here in LA - internet stalking really pays off - and they have helped me so much through this pregnancy.  Angela has a 2 year old sweet girl with the most gorgeous dark eyes (Isabella) and Jess has a 1.5 year old sweet girl with stunning blue eyes (Juliette).  Well...today both of these ladies made the mercury shoot through the top of the baby thermometer! 

Jess gave birth to another little sweet baby girl today at around lunch time.  So Angela headed over to Jess's house to help look after Ju and I swang by and picked up food for Jess and Justin.  I was just gonna drop it off and go help Angela but Jess was just sitting there, an hour after giving birth, looking gorgeous and I swear she was high on life.  I'm sure she may have been high on drugs too but you could see the life puling in her.  Grinning ear to ear, relaxed, calm...  I was like a moth to a flame, walking in the room gettin high off whatever she was exuding.  It was unreal.  I have not seen a new baby in 2 years since my niece was born and I was in my I'm-never-having-kids phase.  I did not get a chance to hold the baby - daddy was giving her a bath and after that she was hungry.  I'm pretty sure if I had it would have shocked my system right into labor, which I guess would be fine since I WAS on a L&D unit and my doc delivers there on occasion. 

Ju had woken up from her nap so Angela came to the hospital but I met her in the parking lot so we could eat in her car really quick.  We we weren't quick enough because poor Isabella fell asleep in her carseat.  So I told Angela to go ahead and go in while I ate and sat with the little sleeper.  So she did and about 2 minutes after she walked in Isabella woke up and was scared that all of the sudden her mama wasn't there.  So I pulled her out of her seat and held her and found an Elmo video on my phone, so she just laid against Danni while I stroked her back.  I was OVERDOSING on mommy hormone by this time.  I even had some very light BH contractions.  She was so cute and I'd love to think it was my innate mommy abilities that calmed her, but really it was stupid Elmo.  But holding her was just so overwhelmingly satisfying...and she's not even mine! 

As a matter of fact - it's been about 3 hours since I wrote that last line.  I happened to realize that I WAS having contractions.  They were light but they were steady so I went and had them checked out.  Nothing to worry about I'm back home now...still dreaming about my sweet little girl.
