I love my baby so much. Jack is amazing. He’s beautiful. He’s a total gift. I love motherhood. I love being HIS Mom. Sometimes I still can’t believe he’s ours! Forever? Thank God! After the surgery drugs wore off, about our second night in the hospital, I looked at Jack and said to him, “It was you in there all that time!” I was struck by how the bond was there before he was even born. And how much stronger it got. He was worth every nauseous day, every Tum, even numb and painful hands. Everyone told me he would be worth it. I knew they would be right and they were.
I love how he was, at one day old, and is still, comforted by just being near me. I love to watch him discover his hands, the sunshine on the curtains, his stuffed cow, the fabric of the burp cloth, his voice, children’s faces, music, the breeze on his face, and how giving smiles elicits smiles. I believe in God’s creation of him. One day earlier or later and it wouldn’t have been Jack.
He has brought new joy, new meaning, and new purpose to my life. I knew they would be right and they were.
