Bonnie had her little boy, Jacob, today. There were so many thoughts running through my mind as I was talking to her...all of those things a new mom doesn't yet know....they may imagine...but they don't really know. Like the pure joy that first smile is going to bring, or how when you hold that baby in your arms you're going to feel a happiness and contentment like you've never felt before. Or the fact that, when you wake for the first time from a deep sleep without it being jostled from a babies cry, rather than relief you're actually going to feel fear that something is wrong. And you will go into their room just to make sure they're okay. Or the number of times you will feel their tummy or back when they're in a deep sleep just to make sure they're still breathing...and then you will breathe a sigh of relief knowing they're okay. Or the exhilarating amazement you will feel as they start to discover how to do new things...like feed themselves, or turn the pages of a book, or dance, or walk...the little miracle that you know is all yours...that you created. What a journey that lies ahead of you my dear Bon Bon! Congratulations!!!
