When I was five, my mom, my aunt, and my kindergarten teacher were all pregnant. I do not actually recall any particular feelings about being surrounded by pregnant women, and then by babies, but was told I was not very happy about it. I know when I was 10, I loved babies and wanted to hold them whenever I had the opportunity. Recently, Taylor will tell me she doesn't like babies. Which is somewhat of a relief since Ben and I do not plan on having anymore. However, I feel bad that she has such negative feelings about babies. Ben asked, "Why don't you like babies sweetie?" Taylor responded, "Because they spit all the time!" We are not usually around many babies, but apparently one of them spit-up and it has left a lasting impression with my daughter.
