This post has been rolling in my head since this morning while I held you and cried as you looked at me with your sweet blue eyes...
I was not prepared, sweet baby, for how much I would love you.
I was not prepared for my overwhelmingly possessive need to protect you from all things, even those you don't need protected from.
I was not prepared for the urge I would get to want to hold you tight all day and all night, or the feeling in my stomach that makes me want to go pick you up even though you are sleeping soundly in your bed.
I was not prepared for the emotions that go with motherhood...the constant worry that you are okay...the wonder of what tomorrow with you will bring...and the anxiety of what your future holds.
I love you, sweet Natalee...more than I ever thought I could love another human being. When I look at you and see my face and Daddy's eyes I know the full extent of God's goodness and grace. What a gift you are to us this Christmas and always. You are everything I prayed for and so much more. I can't imagine anything better, a life more full, or a heart more overflowing.
Forever yours, baby girl...
Love, Mommy

it is amazing, huh?
it really is.
thanks for the cry this morning. that is a very sweet post! motherhood is just unexplainable!
Your just going to love her more too. It's a little scary how attached you get so fast. Sorry if my son was scaring you with her on Sat.
he wasn't scaring me...he was fine. i just want to keep her within these walls of this house forever. is that natural?
Yes. I stil feel like that sometimes. Especially during cold and flu season.
