I actually held

a baby on Sunday.  You read correctly - I held a baby.  And I don't do that.  I get nervous holding other people's babies - afraid I'll drop them.  And I didn't want to get baby hungry.

Imagine Tim's surprise on Sunday when he and Ster were sitting on the stand for the Primary Program and he sees me holding a baby.  It was quite humorous actually - I saw him smile and lean over to Ster and tell him that mommy was holding a baby girl and then he grinned.  It was fabulous!

I was sitting there listening to the program when the man in front of me got up with his baby girl because she was fussy and left his 3 year old son there.  I helped the little boy open up his snack and kept smiling at him because he is just a cutie.  A minute later, I look up and see him standing kinda funny with a funny grin on his face.  I was a bit suspicious, but the grunt confirmed my idea.

Gross.  Last week a little one had a dirty diaper and I smelled it for the rest of the meeting.  Nasty!

I sat there for a minute wondering if I should hold the baby while the dad changes a bum or offer to change a bum.  I may be a nervous nelly holding other people's babies, but I have a gag reflex like no other and I didn't want to puke all over a little boy (if his dad would even let me take him).  I offered to hold the baby.

And I did good!  I didn't drop her or anything!  Of course, she started to get a little fussy and then I started to get a little nervous.  So we ended up in the hallway. 

But I held a baby and everything turned out fine and I didn't even get baby hungry!  Maybe I can hold babies and not get hungry for one!

  1. Love it Teri! I don't like holding other people's babies either! I am fine with my own, but other people's scare me to death for the same reason! I think I might drop them and that would be disaster! I hoped it would have made you baby hungry though! :)
