A New Baby

While I am waiting patiently for a new baby to be placed with me (ok patiently may be a bit exaggerated), I have become a new mother in a different kind of way.  Almost two weeks ago I brought Herbie home.
I know it makes you go aww.   He is adorable.  He is now 2 months old + a week.   And things have gone pretty well.  He is very independent and loves to play.  And the best part is he likes to sleep so I haven't lost any sleep from him coming home.   However potty training is going very slow- especially with another round of snow this past weekend.    It's just to cold for him outside.  I even got him a little sweater.   Him and my other dog are getting along pretty well so that makes me happy as well.  Sometimes they even sit close to each other.

So far they have both been fun.  I feel extremely bad though because this week I have been working another job and am not home much.  My 14hr days leave very little time to be at home.   Last week the daycare I've been working at asked me to work there for a couple weeks after school.   So far I've been left in the infant room so that's been a lot of fun.   Some days it's a lot of multi tasking with many fussy babies.   While I don't have many talents in life- I am very good with babies and even multiples around.   I can feed two babies at once and play and entertain another one at the same time.  And I am very good and understanding what they want and what their cries mean.   All of this is keeping me busy so I forget all the real problems in my life- so that's been nice.   It does make me wish I had my own child (especially with the job and all the pics on facebook)- but hopefully it will happen in time.  I would love to have twins I've decided.  :-)  I could do it.   Doubt me all you want.   Hopefully things will move along with the adoption process- but I'm not going to hold my breath.   For now I'm just going to enjoy my fur babies and try to make it through the rest of the school year.   And I'll just keep loving on the babies at the daycare.
