We recently had the chance to go over to Chorley and meet our newest niece, Phoebe Maria Munday. It is not often I enjoy baby snuggles, but I must be softening because I really enjoyed holding her. Lewis of course was in his element, but then he always looks his happiest with a baby in his arms! Those first months are tough with a new baby, and so it was lovely to be able to lift that burden from Laren and Jenelle for a short while when they came to stay with us a couple of weeks ago. It is funny how one good night of sleep can make a person feel "normal" again! Lewis and I enjoyed the novelty of caring for a newborn, and Phoebe drew many admiring glances when she helped escort her cousins to school.
It has left me with a real ache in my heart. I would love to have more children, but I never, ever wish to experience pregnancy again... an unfortunate combination! Such has been my broodiness, that I even asked Lewis if I could get a puppy, weirdly enough he said yes. Perhaps safe in the knowledge that I fully realise that it would be in no way practical. Alas, I am going to satisfy my aching heart with a new pair of knitting needles so I can knit booties for Phoebe. Some nice bamboo ones I think that I can really cherish!!!
