In love...

I am still in the hospital with Abby Rose. She is doing great! Such a beautiful baby.

With the birth of each of my children, I have felt similar emotions. As soon as I see them, it is so exciting and I am so grateful and happy that they are healthy and here on this earth.

I feel protective and in awe of the gift I have been given. I hold them tight. I feed them. I spend hours up at night with only them. I ponder who they look like. I wonder if the name we have picked fits them. Then, it happens. I fall head over heels in love with them. It doesn't happen immediately the first, second or even third day for me. But when it happens, it happens.

This week Abby Rose got me! Her beautiful, round almond-shaped eyes have stared at me with such trust and love. She recognizes my voice and actually likes the sound of it! She smiles at me. She smiles at me more than anyone else, and I love her for that. She is loyal to only me for now, and I am desperately in love with her too.

Three monsters and a sweet baby (you can't be a monster at two months!), feels good for now!
