I look at my beautiful daughter and wonder what life was like before her. When I was pregnant I remember people telling me, “sleep now, date now, enjoy your freedom now” and me feeling beyond annoyed. I thought, “If you only knew how uncomfortable I was… I just want to have my baby!” How can they suggest any of this?
But here I am now, seven weeks into motherhood and don't really remember a time where I wasn't woken up every couple hours. Or a time when Jimmy and I could just jump in the car and go on a date. Or I could go to Target without planning the perfect time to get some shopping done. And I wouldn't change it for the world.
Before Adalyn I thought I knew what love was. The amount I love my husband is indescribable. Then come my doggies, and I love them beyond measure. Then I met my daughter. My heart exploded. EXPLODED.
I can say there is no other love then the love you feel for your child. I wondered about this love… and thought how can you feel a love so pure and true when you don’t even really know this person? But the minute I locked eyes with this “stranger” I knew it to be true.
Adalyn has given us so much joy. She now interacts with us and chats away by cooing and making the cutest noises. She smiles and copies the facial expressions we make at her. It’s been so fun watching her change and grow up. I can't wait to see what the future brings for this beautiful daughter of mine.
Here are some pictures of Adalyn on Halloween.
Love,
Kristin
