As I write...my sweet, handsome man lies on my chest just as he is in this picture with his Daddy. Feeling his tiny, warm body on my mine and listening to his whispers of breath is the most precious gift. Having Liam come into our lives has changed our lives so much already and it's wonderful. Literally, my body is not big enough to contain all of the emotions I feel on minute by minute basis.
There is an entirely new human being on this earth that is half the man I love and adore and half myself. I just can't comprehend it at times. The love I have for him is unlike anything I could have imagined. Of course I knew I would absolutely adore him and want to eat him up, but there is almost an aching feeling that goes along with the depth of the love I feel for him. I've never been able to stare at someone so long and not grow weary of it. It's amazing to know that I have a son. It's the greatest feeling.
Then, to top off those emotions...the love I feel for my husband now has changed as well. Well, there's an addition I should say instead of change. All of the love and adoration I had for him before are still present. However, now there's an entirely new layer. Watching him stare at Liam as he holds him or to see him JUMP at the opportunity to change his diaper just to be involved makes me love him in a whole different way. I knew he would be a great father just because of the wonderful man and husband he already is, but I don't think I quite expected him to enjoy it as much as it appears he does. I can tell he just gushes for Liam. And that makes me fall in love with him even more.
So, like I said....my body just isn't big enough to contain all of the emotions I feel as a new mom. Most would call all of this hormones. :) I just like to think of them as sweet emotions.
