Yesterday, I got to hold one of my best friend's first child in my arms. Wow was it an amazing feeling. I started crying, which I never do, but it took me back to the feelings of holding Crosby for the first time and all the emotion that comes with that moment. I remember in my sleep deprived state (first couple of weeks) thinking I can't wait until he is a month or so older and sleeping through the night!! But I would give anything to have those nights back, maybe just a couple! To be able to grab my little guy in the middle of the night, cuddle with him and nurse him back to sleep, they are so sweet in the first few months. I will treasure those nights we had together, just staring as his face and thinking, wow, I am really a mom! Time moves by so fast! It was worth the sleepless nights, emotional crying, zoombie feeling, and pain!
Congrats Hilary and Nick, we already love baby Ford!
I already don't remember Crosby being this small! This is not a great picture of either of us but captures the moment just shortly after he was born!
I love this post...and you just made me even more excited about Louise! You and Jeff are awesome parents...Crosby is a lucky little dude.
ReplyDeleteAww love you Nat! You made me cry seeing you hold Ford at the hospital. He already loves his Aunt Nat & Uncle Jeff! Lord knows he and Crosby will be getting into trouble together before we know it,. Love y'all!
