~You are the loves of my life~

I have waited my entire life for you. I don't know what I did in my lifetime to deserve the honor of being your mother, but I embrace my new role with no hesitation. All of the anticipation over the last 9 1/2 (yes..it was 9 1/2) months disappears the very moment the doctor places you on my chest. You aren't even crying. Your big, brown eyes connect with mine, and we both just stare for a minute. You were probably wondering what on Earth you had just experienced, but I was wondering how on Earth you were so beautiful. Looking into your eyes feels like what I imagine Heaven will feel like when we reach our destination. You take to breastfeeding like a champion...my genius baby! I've never felt so connected to anybody...I am your source for nourishment. I can't explain your scent, but I will never forget it. I have no desire to sleep, eat, or look at anybody else but you. I'm overwhelmed with emotion knowing that I'll always have you. You are mine. My heart has never felt so much joy. Pure elation. I am in love and know that this love will last a lifetime.
