About Kids

I met* two friends the first day time in a while* yesterday. They both had had** a baby babies*** only a few months ago, so I could it gave me a chance to meet their babies for the first time. One is a boy and the other is a girl, and of course they're so cute. However they cry very soon often, you know, so all day their mothers have no time to rest whole day...Caring for a child is a very tough thing. I respect**** my mother who raised me and my brothers again*****. I'm not too confident about that I could do that now.

* This was slightly ambiguous (曖昧な, with two possible meanings). Often, "to meet" means 初めて会います. But it sounds like these are long-time friends. To show that this was a planned meeting with long-time friends, you could say "I got together with two friends . . ." or "I met up with two friends . . ." 

** "had had" - This is very tricky. It's called the Past Perfect form. It sounds strange to use the word "had" two times, but the first "had" means that the event happened in the past, it was a single event that happened and was finished. ("She had eaten breakfast" "The store had already closed").  The second "had" means 出産します. (So, I think, "had a baby" is would be something like 出産をしていました, and "had had a baby" is 出産をしました. But someone with more Japanese skills than me could give a better answer.)

*** This is tricky, because it's two friends, and two babies (unless they both had the same baby 笑！) you need to say "babies."

**** "respect" - This is fine. But maybe "appreciate" is a better word.

***** "again" - it sounds like your mother raised you again. A good way to say this is "I have new respect for my mother who raised me and my brothers."

About Kids

Yesterday, I met with two of my friends for the first time in a while. They each had a baby only a few months ago, so it was my first look at their babies in person / in the flesh. One is a boy and the other, a girl, and of course, they're so cute! However, they cried frequently and required a lot of attention, so their mothers had no rest throughout the entire time (that we were together). Caring for children is truly an exhausting task! I now respect my mother, who raised me and my brothers, even more. (Having seen, first-hand, how much effort it required,)  I'm not too confident about my ability to raise even one kid, let alone, two or three, kids now!

Good job! As before, I easily understood the ideas that you wanted to convey to me, as the reader. Naturally, as both your vocabulary and your familiarity with sentence structure improves, you will be able to express your ideas more fully in English. The text within parentheses is somewhat understood, but including it would have made your ideas, and thus, your sentences, better reading. I hope this helps you. J. (Apologies to Steve, but I just did not care for two sentences in a row using "the first time.") (*_^)
