Katie time

After going to therapy I went to visit Katie and Jude.  Oh my, that baby is one of the happiest, most adorable babies ever.  If he saw you smile, he too would get this big smile on his face that just made my heart melt. What's really cool is that you can see both Katie and Jared in his face.  I've never quite seen a baby resemble both parents in that way.  I don't know why that blows my mind in such a way but it does.  Maybe it's because I find how genetics get passed down fascinating.  

Katie and I had a really nice conversation as well about being a mom, potential career paths, and the desire to have a community of friends.  For her, she would love to find some friends with young children.  As much as I love her and try to understand life with a baby, I just don't get it.  How could I?  I don't have children and never have so it's impossible for me to fully know the joys and the struggles that come with raising a child.  For me, the friends that Dave and I have don't live close by and as a result we just don't see each other enough to create that sense of community.   

I don't think I'm making any sense at all and I'm not explaining what we mean by "community" well.  It made sense to us and we both know what we were talking about so that's what matters.  I'm just glad that I got to see her.  I really want Dave and I to hang out with her and Jared a bit more.
