I just don't. I don't mind helping a mom out by holding the baby and so forth but I won't go out of my way to 'have to hold' a baby. I am not cold. I love kids. I have one and have one on the way but...I just can't seem to get past the fact something MIGHT happen and I might screw up somehow. You on the other hand, I just can't see you failing at it. You are warm, inviting and loving. When you have your own baby you know exactly what to do. I don’t hold babies. I just don’t.

He was very content in your arms and I think he even fell asleep before my loud husband woke him up :)You are going to make a great mommy :) I think that your definitely becoming more confident since the very first time you held Luke.

We love to plan and organize for things but childbirth and raising/care for is something I am slowly learning & finding out that is totally unpredictable, emotional, wonderful, scary and I'm sure many more things that I will soon find out. But to see the little precious- it's just an amazing gift from God! OK it’s only been a week but I would say holding Olivia is the LEAST scary thing.

She was totally content when you held her in NY. You're going to be great at this mommy stuff...truly believe the hype...it will come naturally! As long as you do it with love it can't be wrong.

You want to get used to holding them again. I have that automatic mom-bounce-thing so whenever I get a baby in my arms, it just happens naturally. Even though that part comes easily, I can't imagine taking care of them 24 hours a day! That's a scary thought. I think practicing on other people’s kids is perfectly fine!
