Oh Henry

Here's the deal. I think I can't wait to be a mom. But then I see this.


And this...


And some of this....


And maybe a wee bit of this...


And then I realize if I can't even let the vet draw blood while I'm in the room, my future children had better be born with superhuman immune systems...try saying that 5 times fast. I trust that I will be enamored with my own offspring even more than I am with Henry. Babies purr, right?

Then he attempts to scale the walls and I think, I can't wait to be a mom. At least the children won't be climbing vertical surfaces when they're four months old.

  1. No, they wait for the climbing vertical surfaces until at least 9 months... In my experience, when the nurses noticed my difficulty in being in the room, they actually asked me to step out while my husband stayed in. I cried in the hall on both occasions, but she is now 15, and it's ok. So far so good. 8)

    1. DH and I already decided he'll have to be the bad guy while I hide in the waiting room!

  2. SO adorable! Last time I checked, babies didn't scale walls. Buuuut, I'm still nowhere near ready to be a mom. :)

    1. Dude, he is nuts! It's like the walls are taunting him with all their uprightness. If he were a child, I'd totally have him tested. For what I don't know, but it would be a specialist for sure.

  3. It is very hard to go through the shots and the first fever and all that stuff! But when you become a mom you force yourself to toughen up :) Your love for the kitty will translate well into love for a baby!

    1. So does this toughening up translate into like a wonder woman outer physique? Just curious. I think I'd feel better if it did...if not, can I at least have a lasso?
