I am in love!

It happened! I am in love!

Well, to clarify, I have been in love with my husband for well over 7 years, but I am in love with my little girl. 4 weeks after giving birth to her, I looked at her adorable face (which bears striking resemblance to her father) and my heart melted. It was such a wonderful feeling I had wanted so badly to feel. She then started smiling at me and chatting (the way babies chat) and that is when everything changed. I look at her differently and inherently feel differently toward her. When she cries, albeit very seldom, it hurts me a bit more than before. When someone tells me how lovely and beautiful she is, it uplifts me a bit more than before.

Now…the funny thing is that something else changed during this wonderful time. I now can honestly think about having another child, and enjoying it. I probably will still dread the final 3 months of pregnancy, but at least I will have Lili to uplift me, and the idea of another little one to take up space in my heart will encourage me.

Now I just need to convince my husband to agree to having a sleepless, exhausted, alcohol and caffeine abstaining, pregnant, wife again!
