10 Signs You Have Baby Fever (but are nowhere near ready)

Babies. Even that word draws some people in.

They are just all things tiny, with their itsy-bitsy toes, fingers, and noses. Do not even get me started on their little bows, shoes, and any thing clothing.

If you are currently agreeing with the last few sentences, or are anything like me, then you have at least a hint -- or even full blown -- baby fever! Yes, I said it and I'm only 19: baby fever. However, as much as I smile every time I see a cute little one, I know that I am not personally ready for my own little one.

1. You love to snuggle them while they are snoozing, but once they start fussing you realize your pillow is a much better cuddle buddy.

2. When you are out in public you see a baby and automatically think, "Aw!" and start making silly faces.

But then the baby makes a weird face and even possibly cries.

3. You sign up for a babysitting gig since you love children.

But, unfortunately, you get a colicky infant (which you did not even know existed) and second guess your desire to have children.

4. Bouncing a baby up and down and talking in that basic baby talk is always a go to. However it is far less cute whenever vomit appears.

That smell itself makes the experience unforgettable.

5. Twins! How adorable?

They are best friends for life and do everything together. Unfortunately, the everything is not always an understatement considering the full diapers ironically make a synchronized appearance.

6. Us teenagers love our sleep.

I mean, even the doctors say we should get at least eight hours of it. Babies tend to disagree with that previous statement.

7. Their little socks are probably the cutest article of baby clothing ever, until you realize that they become sprinkles throughout the house.

8. Whenever you see a baby you just want to hold it forever and ever, until you come to the realization that they can be a weight for your upcoming workout.

9. Walking into a Babies R Us should be avoided, you drool over all of the cute miniatures of every stylish outfit.

You imagine how much money you will begin to spend on your child rather than yourself.

10. Happy, giggly, and smiling babies are so cute!

Babies are not always happy. Bummer, right?

Babies are, by far, the most adorable thing out there. However they do come with their ups and downs that one will soon realize after being around one on a regular basis. As much as I want to pinch their chubby cheeks and snuggle them, I know that I am not ready for a baby of my own, right now. Visiting family and friend's babies will just have to do, for now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
