Having babies is the most profound thing that any woman can do. It is the most beautiful experience and the most enjoyable time of life. But, it is also a crazy part of life! Babies are not easy. They are not predicatable. They do not do what you want them to do when you want them to do it. And, they do not bend to your rules. Instead, the world is theirs! And we better stay out of their way! But, there are things to look forward to when it comes to having babies.

You can count on no sleep, that is for sure. Many parents have the hardest time with this stage of their new relationship with their babies. It is not easy to work your schedule around their’s, but it is necessary. Babies need constant attention even in the wee hours of the night.

You can also look forward to all those bodily functions. Babies will make a mess of their diaper as soon as you change them. Or, they will wait until you are in the car before doing so.

Babies will make the most beautiful smiles, but your friends and family won’t see them until they are ready. You can not coax a baby to do anything that he or she does not want to do!

But, there are good things to look forward to from your babies. There is nothing that can come close to the smell of your baby’s hair. There is nothing that will feel better than her skin. The bond that you create, snuggling on the couch will never be found anywhere else in your life. And, when they do do something disgusting or untimely, you can count on them to still melt your heart with a simple little smile. Babies are a gift and should be treasured even in the worst of times.

Oh, one more horrible thing that babies do… They grow up, and you will no longer have these precious moments with them anymore!
