Borrowed Thoughts:

I copied this from a 'mommy blog' I read occassionally and just wanted to share with you moms, or to-be moms, out there! (and any dads, or to-be dads, could get something from it too)

"I don't know what women are talking about when they complain about being 'all touched out' with their babies, and so don't want to be close to their husbands. I'm dying for affection from Phil. Being touched by someone who doesn't want anything from me is so amazing. In many ways, I feel like the baby is a wedge between us: I'd have so much more time and energy for Phil if it weren't for the babe. But she also creates a huge bond between us — no one else in the world is as interested in our baby as we are. We just sit and watch her every waking minute, our little monkey. And sometimes when we're watching I cling to Phil like I used to. He feels odd to me now — giant, and very hairy. "You're huge!" I tell him. He loves that. He makes a muscle for me, grinning, the big huge hairy monkey-dad of the family. I think going to work during the day and having me at home with the baby makes him feel very manly. He seems focused now, grown-up. It's interesting what being a daddy can do. Who knew the guyish-guy I married would turn into a man?"
