Aw, new baby love....

I just have to post this. I read this on another woman's blog and copied and pasted it below--she had a baby 3 months ago. It is so over the top gooey in the same way that really bad (meaning, awesome!) high school love letters are, that it put a huge smile on my face and reminded me of how giddy in love we felt (and still feel constantly, only it grows unbelievably more and more everyday) when we look at our sweet little boy. I wonder if one day we will look back on these writings about our love for our children and cringe the way we do when we read our high school drivel? I hope not.

Look at this guy! How could this have been a year ago? I love him.



You never know how much you can be in love with someone until you have a child. Seriously. I have never been more in love in my life. I fall in love with him more and more every day. He's perfect! He's this amazing little person. So young and innocent. He doesn't know about any of the bad stuff in the world. He only knows love. He knows his mommy, and he knows that he loves her. He knows his dad, and he knows that he loves him. He knows that he's safe here, and he's happy! I don't ever want that to change. I don't ever want him to be upset, or to know about bad things. I want time to slow down, I want him to be little for longer than he will be! My baby is already 3 months old. I just can't comprehend how time flies by so quickly.

I love him. I love him more than I knew anyone could love a person. I love him so much that I think my heart exploded when he was born. It couldn't handle the amount of love that I have for my son.

I look at him all the time and think about how I helped make him. I carried him. He was in my body when he was just an egg fertilized by a sperm. He was there before he had any limbs, a beating heart, or a brain. He grew from nothing, into this beautiful little boy, and it happened inside of me.
