I don't think there is anything better in the world that rocking your baby, watching them drift off to peaceful sleep and putting your cheek close to their face to feel their soft little breath. Just tiny little inhales and exhales. It is the most serene and amazing thing and I thank God for the blessing.
After taking in a moment like this, I can't even believe that I ever considered not having children. I can't imagine my life without my baby and I look forward to everyday with such excitement because I know that there will be something new to share with Jeff and Max. Don't get me wrong, I have always enjoyed life to it's fullest and I have always loved to come home just to be with my hubby every day. But now, I can't even put it in to words. The pure bliss I have when I finish out the day and get home to my boys. Every day is a new day with new things. To share in the discovery of life with Max is just something I never anticipated. And to look at your husband and share in that joy it beyond words.
I have been learning so much about babies, parenting, my husband and myself. I suppose that is part of the rush - the learning. Some learning is so intriguing and some frightening. But overall, it is the sum of all experiences that make it so great and valuable.
Thank you Lord for the abundance of love and blessings!
Ahh, You are finally there. I was a young mother and while I was taking care of my babies no one could understand why I just wouldn't get a babysitter and keep going to the bar. The second my son was born there was no where else that I wanted to be. When I had my daughter I knew she would be my last and I couldn't bare to leave her, I didn't want to miss anything, well that and the fact that she would scream for hours until I came back, so no one would watch her...
ReplyDeleteSo honest and open Ericka - Max is a doll. The love we have for our children is unexplainable. What a gift!!!
