I have been informed that I have not posted a photo of Jade and I together. So, with a little help from the bathroom mirror, I took a picture of us. I am amazed at how much she makes me smile and even when I may be having a particularly difficult day, all I have to do is look in her eyes and that smile rocks my world. I find myself overwhelmed with love for this little one and often wonder how one person can affect me like this. I would do anything for her. I take care of her physical needs as best I can and try to give her what she wants. I wake in the middle of the night to comfort her. I feel bad when she feels bad. I am happy when she is happy.
I can only imagine how much more my God loves me. He's always there. He listens, gives me what I need, comforts me, loves me. I suppose I will never fully understand this kind of intense and unwavering love but I am glad that it is there for me whenever I need it.

Maybe I'm just feeling sentimental tonight but your post almost made me cry. Your baby is beautiful Kim, and so are you. Isn't the love of being a parent just an astonishing thing? We are so blessed.
Kim, you voiced something I was just thinking about. There is nothing anyone could have said that would have prepared me for the fierceness or depth of mother-love. I love my husband dearly, but nothing compares to this! It feels almost like a separate physical presence. What amazes me more is that I now understand that our parents felt the same way about us. It puts a whole new perspective on our relationships.
