I always want to remember how it felt to hold Brody those first few days. I was so nervous about if I was doing everything right. But at the same time, I was so sure that I was meant to take upon the great responsibility of caring for him. I didn't sleep that first or second night. I didn't feel tired. I didn't want to miss anything about my new little man and I loved sitting there, standing there, and lying there just looking at him. I couldn't get over how cute he was and how small he was and how he was really our's and we were about to take him home to be with us forever.
Those feelings will never be forgotten. You will find that you will reflect on them whenever he has a birthday or at moments of reflection when you are feeling proud or even frustrated him. I am glad you are writing them down for him to read for the future. I love that you're a mommy now and that I get to be a nana. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are right. I wish our memories were better, cause I know this moment with many others will fade away in just a few short months. I'm hoping this post will bring back a few of those thoughts and feelings when I read it over later.
