Our little girl Charlotte was born this week, we are so happy she is here safe and sound. Its amazing the things Ive taken for granted as a mom...after having Aaron my perspectives have changed quite a bit on being a mom. I wanted so badly to feed Aaron...and having the tubie (while necessary) was emotionally hard to grasp. I don't think he really cared, he was just happy his tummy was full...but how I wanted to hold my baby close and share that special time. At times when his health made it so that we weren't able to hold him, it was rough. My husband and I wanted nothing more than to hold him and comfort him...but we couldn't. Thankfully he is ok now, we cuddle away and let him munch on anything he will try.
Last night was our first night with Char..she is a night time gal! I'm not even going to complain...I'm so thankful that I was able to hold my nursing baby tight at 2am and talk about the flowers outside
and how daddy's snoring was driving me nuts and how we were going to spend the day. After her nursing on and off throughout the night I was a little more sleepy than I thought, I dozed off with her in my arms. My husband had apparently woken up during that time, but instead of rolling over and going back to sleep he stayed awake to watch her and make sure she was safe, without disturbing her or I in the process.... I opened my eyes this morning to one of the most amazing things ever, watching a daddy's love for his daughter. I know my husband, I know how he like his sleep. BUT he would rather soak in his baby girl than rest himself. He got up early and took care of the rest of the kiddos and let me rest (thank you hun!) I know he is a great man, but sometimes I forget just how awesome he really is. This is what a family should be like. This is it. The only thing I will ever ever need in life...my family.
