Baby Fever!

I get married in 21 days! Not that I'm counting or anything...and I'm starting to get really excited about the adventures married life will bring.

I never thought I was the baby type, and Steven and I are pretty sure we are either not going to have kids or just have one.  But I'm going to admit it.  I have baby fever.

It happened in the months leading up to and immediately following my engagement.  Nicole got pregnant. Then Heather got pregnant. Then Jessica. Then Kristin. (All sisters/cousins). Then Shannon.

At first I was a little peeved at the little baby bumps.  Baby bumps that would prevent some of my besties from traveling to my destination wedding that had already been booked and paid for.  Then the babies started to come.

First there came Nicole's Broderick and seriously, this ladies man stole everyone's heart the moment we met him.

 

and a few months later, Heather's Quorra (pronounced Cora).

Cousin portraits borrowed from Nicole. 

And just like that, I had baby fever.  I guess I'm spoiled because I haven't had to deal with the late nights and have never seen more than a momentary tantrum from these two cuties.  I've gotten nothing but cute faces and playtime. And I've got more to look forward to with Brody and Quorra's cousins on the way and due in just a few weeks:

How cute are Jess and Kristin as moms-to-be?

And finishing up the sudden baby-boom, my friend Shannon is expecting baby Joshua at the end of March:

And although actual thought of giving birth still makes me cringe, and screaming tantrum throwing two year olds haunt my nightmares, how could I not be starting to think I can't resist being a mommy when I look back at pictures like this?
