The day that changed my life forever. It was so hard, the wort pain possible for hours and then it got worse and more intense for about 15 minutes as he made his exit. Such agony and pain but with almost immediate results. One time in life when you go through something hard and almost immediately get to see the benefit of it.
It’s such a neat picture of the journey of parenthood as well. There is much pain and sacrifice through the years on the parent’s side, but in the end the joy of seeing your baby grow up is so far beyond being worth it all.
My baby boy is just over 2 months old now. He is so big, loves being helped to stand up like a big boy, and is starting to sign some. it is incredible how much he has grown. Things that used to scare him like baths and diaper changes he is much more at ease with. It melts my heart when I give him his bath because I can tell he still doesn’t like it and sometimes it looks like he is about to cry but he just stares at my face, and I keep telling him it will be ok, and I can see the trust he has for me. It is so beautiful.
Today was a difficult one, we had 6 LONG screaming-crying fits because of tiredness. But now my little baby is sleeping and I am reminded what a precious gift he is. Even on the hard days he still melts my heart and I can hardly believe he is mine. I am so thankful to have been entrusted with him.
Love him more everyday
my sweet sweet baby boy
