Throughout my pregnancy I seem to have these 'out of body' moments where I see myself but I can't believe it is me. A perfect example of this would be on Sunday as I felt like I was watching someone else standing there changing a doll's diapers! We attended a class at the hospital on handling a newborn. Yes, I understand there is some instinct that apparently kicks in and I may not need a diapering lesson but I am not relying on that. It was just as odd to find myself 'swaddling' a doll and what was more frightening was when Mr. Cookie had his turn he didn't get his blanket to wrap around the baby the same way. I quickly saw where he went wrong and swooped in to correct his blanket. Excuse me, have we met? I'm Nicole.
The best part was out of the 20+ parents that were there with their dolls, our doll was the only one that had a crying, grumpy face. It seemed so appropriate somehow, though I do pray this isn't a face I will have to see often.
