Ok, Ill be 17 day after tomorrow. And Im scaring myself a little bit here..I love children/babies..And Im a babysitter. I want one sooo bad but don't go thinking Im one of those 17 year old girls out screwing and trying to get knocked up, that's selfish and irresponsible because I know full well that I'm too young, and obviously not in the position financially to have a child of my own. But sometimes while Im babysitting I get really heartbroken feeling and go into the next room while the children are sleeping and bawl my eyes out because I just wish I had one of my own...I love everything about caring for them, even when they're bad..that feeling when they're crying and then they just run into your arms and throw their arms around your neck and cry into your shoulder and then after a while or a few hours of they're crying they're happy again and you can read to them and hold them and put them to sleep...I even love the not so desirable parts...I fantasize often about having my own baby...and sometimes when no one is around I hold pillows and pretend that it's a baby..
I just want to know if this is normal but something gives me a feeling that it isn't..
