We have felt very special these past couple days. Any gift given to my Lincoln is really a gift to me. A happy baby makes for a happy mommy. A jumperoo from grandma, some squishy blocks , a lil book and new clothes from grandpa, and he even got a new outfit on mothers day from Grammie in Utah. he's spoiled rotten which makes me feel spoiled rotten.
speaking of mothers day... I've had some time to think about it and...having a baby makes you think about your own mom. I didn't realize that at the beginning of my life, my mom loved me as much as I love Lincoln, which is a crazy lot. I hope she loves me that same amount now. You don't know what unconditional love means, til you have a baby of your own. You have incredible patience, you never get tired of your baby who is with you 24 hours a day, you hurt when your child hurts. Love like this is cliche and its perfect.
I am not pregnant and we are definitely not trying anytime soon. But all the sudden I've been saying " when the new baby comes..." or " when we have another..." in conversations with kalob. I guess I have more love to give and I already know it
It is so amazing being a parent. I wish more people talked about that part.
