Babies = Love

There is not much that compares to the sweet smile of a baby. Haddie has been smiling and cooing for a while now and it just melts my heart.

Sami was the most perfect baby and because of that, she made Stella look bad as a baby. But Stella was still a great baby, she just cried - as most babies do. And Haddie cries a bit more.

The thing with Stella was that, while she was generally a happy baby, she went from calm to pissed in about three seconds. She knew what she wanted (but we may not have), and she knew how to express the urgency of it (even though it was usually not really an urgent matter). It really stressed us out for those moments that she was screaming.

Haddie is pretty much the same as Stella, but even more dramatic. The urgency of her scream is life or death. And, unlike her older sisters, she has not been a perfect sleeper since day one. She's just starting to sleep some good stretches at night. But I still love her. ;)

I am going somewhere with this.

I can't wrap my head around how many unloved babies there are in this world. I just want to scoop them all up and snuggle them and hold them and let them know that I just love them so much. It doesn't matter that I've never met them before. Babies = Love. It doesn't matter if they are miserable, unadorable babies. They are BABIES. The most innocent little creatures on Earth, and I love them all.

I think that this has been on my mind more lately due to the blood curdling screaming that Haddie does. It stresses me out and I sometimes have to just put her in her bassinet, shut the bedroom door and let her scream it out. While I do that, I still can't help but try to make her feel my love through thought and prayer.

I know that I'm not the only person that feels this way. Anyone out there want to start a baby loving business with me?!
