Feelings of a maternal sort

Nov 18, 2005 21:51

I was over at my sister's earlier this afternoon and had about half an hour of Evan on my shoulder. He'd just been fed and was wearing that sated, dazed "I can barely keep my eyes open and I don't know who you are anyway" sort of newborn expression. Still, he cuddled right in and sacked out against me so thoroughly that I really hated to leave. There's just something so cozy and contented and right about having a baby asleep in your arms.

Of course, I have yet to be christened by baby vomit, but it's only a matter of time. His older sister was a projectile vomiter. Evan seems to be mastering the "milk through the nose" method of throwing up, which - in comparison - I find kind of (unnaturally, alarmingly) cute.

And he's not even my kid.
