Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

I went to pick-up Hailey today, which I absolutely could not wait another second to do. I missed her sooooo much. The cruise was great (I'll write about that later in a different post) but sometimes I would just feel sad because she was't with me. So, my excitement was at a peak when I pulled into the Wendy's parking lot where I was meeting my parents. The reunion, however, was even harder than leaving her. I was afraid that she wouldn't remember me, but of course she did. She wasn't overly excited to see me, but I got a good welcome. The problem was that she just didn't smell right! Scent seems like such a small thing, but when you are talking about your baby it is enormous. She didn't smell like my baby anymore. A week at my parents' house and she smelled like them. Suddenly,I felt so guilty for leaving her and so sad because my baby didn't seem like mine. It was a horrible, awful, terrible, no good, very bad feeling! I got her home and have never been so excited to do laundry in my life. Funny thing is, I was mentioning it to Tim and that was one of the first things he noticed too, and it upset him also. I guess our animal instincts are more prominent than we sometimes realize!
