Henry loves babies! He always has.
One of our friends was scheduled to have her baby yesterday. Henry was almost completely beside himself waiting for his chance to meet the new baby. He would not stop asking me questions about when she was coming and when we were going to go up there. He was anxious and his constant questions were not helping the long day of waiting pass any quicker!
By that evening it was apparent that she wasn't going to have the baby before the boys' bedtime. I had to convince both boys that the she wasn't coming until later and that if they would just go to bed we could go up there in the morning.
At 2:30 Henry came into my room and annonced that he was dressed and ready to go up to the hospital. He was in fact dressed in everything but shoes! He was defintely anxious!
We went up to the hospital first thing this morning. Both boys were so excited. Lucas was satisfied with holding her for just a minute or two, but Henry kept asking me why I got to hold her for so long and why I got so many turns. Where did he learn to be such a baby hog from?
I can't really blame him. She was absolutely perfect and kept making the sweetest little noises. There is just something so great about new babies. If only I didn't have to share!
