Drunk on Baby Love...

Sometimes I hold my baby and just smell her. The smell is so special and sweet that I get intoxicated. I swear that at times I am just drunk on baby love. Perhaps this has happened to you.

Here are some signs:

1. If you feel lightheaded and somewhat dizzy, you might be drunk on baby love.

2. If you keep grinning and feel giddy, you might be drunk on baby love.

3. If being with the baby makes you lose all track of time, you might be drunk on baby love.

4. If you find that you are more interested in being with the baby than in eating or sleeping, you might be drunk on baby love

5. If you find yourself craving the baby smell as soon as you’ve left the baby, you might be drunk on baby love.

6. If you find yourself talking gibberish, but think that you make sense, you might be drunk on baby love.

7. If you find yourself doing silly things (like making funny faces, jumping up and down, speaking in an unnatural voice), you might be drunk on baby love.

8. If you frequently find yourself covered in urine and don't even care, you might be drunk on baby love.

9. If you find yourself neglecting your friends and family to spend time with the baby, you might be drunk on baby love.

10. If you are utterly distracted, completely consumed by the baby, and annoying everyone in your life with stories about the baby, you might be drunk on baby love.

If you feel all of the above chances are you are high off your ass, inebriated, absolutely drunk on baby love. If you’ve got it really bad, you may even be addicted! Don’t worry though, you won’t get a hangover. You won’t hate yourself in the morning. And you won’t wake up in a stranger’s bed. (Although you might find yourself sleeping in the baby’s room just to make sure it’s still breathing. Maybe that’s just me though.)

Still, your appearance might mirror a drunkard’s. You may look haggard for awhile--bleary eyed, disheveled, and in need of a shower. You may look that way for several months, maybe years, after the baby arrives. Still, you will likely have a ridiculous grin, feel as if all is right with the world and just love everybody! Now that I think about it, baby love is the best drug out. I cannot wait until I can get another fix!

Ciao! (I'm going to get my fix right now.  Don't tell anybody!!!)
