Some of my dear friends are already having adorable little babies. It's amazing to me. I've always been in awe of the power that women's bodies have to hold a little life inside of it. Ever since I was a child, I knew that I wanted to be a mother one day.
But that time hasn't come, nor am I rushing into it at this point.
And yet, I've always wanted a bit of practice taking care of a baby. I finally got my chance this weekend when my friends were out of town for a wedding.
I got the chance to babysit overnight, which meant that I was solely in charge of bathing, feeding, and changing. If I were to play the "Never Have I Ever" game before last Saturday night, I would have said that "never have I ever changed a diaper."
But as of today, I've changed 2 diapers!
It's a weird thing to be proud of. But I'm DAMN PROUD that I successfully changed a baby's diaper! I was so proud, in fact, that I proceeded to sing my own rendition of "Like a Boss" to the baby. He enjoyed it, I'm pretty sure.
It's definitely not a normal item on anyone's bucket list. But for someone maternal like me, it makes sense...sort of.
