Although I was on a lot of drugs and coming off of general anesthesia after my C-section, I can vividly remember the tremendous amount of love I felt when holding Anslee for the very first time. I remember thinking, I don't think its possible that I could ever feel this love for anyone else ever. It was overwhelming emotion. The kind that takes your breath away. The kind that makes the minutes draw out into hours without you knowing. I literally felt like the rest of the world had stopped spinning.
So, is it true that I have the blessing and honor of feeling that way all over again? Even though I know exactly what it feels like, to love that much, I still just can't believe that it will happen again. I love no one like I do Anslee, and so it just does not seem like it could be real that I will love like that for another. I know full well that its real, and that the exact same rush of emotion will come right back over me. I can't fully prepare for it though. You can't. I look forward to it. I look forward to reliving that emotion that only a mother knows all over again.
Just look at this sweet baby growing in me. This will be the object of my love just months from now. We are so very excited. We feel so blessed. God is so good to give us the precious gift of life!
Our capacity for Love is about to grow! By leaps and bounds!
