Motherhood has been the most amazing & fascinating journey so far. Only a short 6 weeks into it, and life as we know it has been changed forever and for the better. One of my favorite parts has been watching Thad's new brain experience everything for the first time and how he responds to it all. The other morning, I was holding him and trying to get him to smile at me. Well, smile he did with the biggest toothless grin! I didn't get the smile on camera, but here's something similar:
I immediately teared up and just thought "Oh my God, I love you so much. I can't even put it into words." Well, as he saw my face tear up, his bottom lip immediately jutted out, started trembling and he burst into tears! And of course I grabbed my iphone camera to exploit it:
Can you believe that face?! It was a hilarious moment, but so interesting to think about it. It would be easy to brush it off as a coincidence. That he was just crying for some other reason that new babies cry about, but personally I think it was him connecting with me. Attaching to me. He recognized my change in mood, and changed his empathetically.
Little boy, I love you so much! I love that you are one of a kind and irreplaceable! I hope you always know how much you are loved and that when you laugh, I will laugh. And when you cry, I will cry. You are ours forever.
