Why are babies called bundles of joy?

Why are they called that? Does it have something to do with wrapping them in a warm blanket? Not trying to sound funny but that baby for instance looks like a wrapped potato.

You're literally referring to them as a whole package wrapped up together that brings you happiness.

I guess you would have to have a baby of your very own to appreciate what a bundle of joy a baby is. For me, the first time the nurse handed him to me wrapped up in his little blanket, I instantly fell in love with him. I couldn't take my eyes off of him, and I would smile the whole time I saw his little face.🙂

yeah I guess so. I'm a bit nervous about the childbearing process. It's still painful and a change in our bodies after all.
Guessing by your current age, I'm going to assume your child must now be in his early to late 40's.

Yes, he is 44. I was in my early 20's when I gave birth to him. Back in the day having a baby "the natural way" was the in thing. Meaning, no drugs, etc. Just labor until you pushed the baby out.
It's funny, but it is painful giving birth, but most mom's will go on to forget the pain, and have more babies. Now, if the pain of giving birth was sooo painful, most women would be reluctant to do it again and again. Some women have 20+ children they gave birth to. The pain is brief compared to your lifetime. And your body will go back to the way it was, don't worry 🙂🌹

Man, that baby's got a small head- or they have big lemons. Anyway, I don't think you'd like the result if you referred to someone's child as a "sack of potatoes"; many people would take offense to that.

But babies DO tend to bring happiness; they're a lot of fun once you learn to communicate with them, and teach them things like block-stacking and crawling and hew to belcm louder than their cousins.

Yet at the same time, they can also provoke that feeling of wanting to squeeze those fatty cheeks. That baby looks like a funny potato with squeezable cheeks. It's funny looking.

Because babies do bring joy especially when they are in the infant stages.

Because it's like... they're creation of their own genes. Ain't THAT JUST FUNKIN' CUTE AND ADORABLE?

gonna be sick.

Because they are like a package of happiness and that baby looks really cute!

Do babies not bring you joy?

[Asker]

I think they so. They're funny looking too and makes you want to squeeze those fatty potato cheeks.

Well that's why they call them bundles of joy lol

No idea, I don't like the very idea of them.

Most babies are a package of misery.
