"I gained 24lbs during my pregnancy w/ Dani & I have lost 41 lbs since I had her! Nursing has its benefits for mommy too!!!"

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 | A Positive story

I know my last post was pretty much full of complaining so now I feel it necessary to beat the irritableness out of myself & post something positive ~

 

At 5AM I woke to a wiggling & grunting baby (her way of telling me it is time to wake up & perform my motherly duties of diapering & nursing). After I changed her I placed on the boppy & nuzzled her up to my breast. As I looked down at her precious face I was instantly overcome with joy. She gently wrapped her arm over my breast & looked up at me with her big bright blue eyes....even her tiny cold fingers on my breast couldn't tarnish this moment. I listened to her gulp up the nourishment of my breast milk....knowing that it is my milk that is causing her to grow so big is so amazing yet in a way bittersweet ~ if only they could stay tiny forever.

 

She startled as one of my tears landed on that same cold hand & she looked up at me as if thinking, "What was that for mom?" Now, I don't want you to think that tear is for sadness, tiredness, or anything but pure love for this beautiful being that I call my daughter. I have always heard about how you instantly love them & I always believed that, but I never really did comprehend just how much you can love them. It is all consuming; the most perfect love that could possibly exist.

 

Before we went to sleep last night I watched a tender moment between daddy & his princess. He had just come from the shower & I had just gotten her changed & in her sleeper ready for a good night's sleep (well we always hope at least)....he laid on the bed next to her & they literally just stared at each other for what seemed like an hour. Gradually this tiny little girl reached over with that same tiny hand & placed it on his cheek.....it wasn't long before his eyes were filled with tears too. It is amazing how your life can change with the mere touch of your child.

 

I could go on for days with wonderful, priceless moment that we have with our beautiful daughter but I feel the need to go scoop her out of her bassinet & stare once again into those beautiful blue eyes because I know those opportunities won't always be there. She is 5wks old today, it seems like yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant once again, let alone giving birth to this miracle. And, I do believe with all my heart that Danicka is a miracle.  I know it is my destiny to be her mommy & I thank God every moment that he created this destiny for me!!!!!

    I totally have to agree with you about the staying tiny thing. As I watch my 16 year old son and 14 yearr old daughter hold their lil brother I am over come with emotion. That one day they will be holding their own child thinking they couldnt love someone as much as we love our kids. Having teens...all I can say is take a MILLION pictures..even that million will never be enough....she is a beautiful girl

    Now I am crying too! I am crying tears of joy for you and Rich and the miracle you call your daughter. I am so happy you both get to experience all that you do. There are times when I dream of having a child and in a few of those dreams I was overwhelmed with an all encompassing feeling of complete, unconditional and never ending love for the tiny child I was looking at who was, in my dream, my child. I could feel that love with every breath I took and can feel it now as I think about it. It is overwhelming actually. So if that feeling even comes close to what you feel when you look at Dani then it must be SUPER AMAZING and the most wonderful thing this world could offer! Enjoy every sweet moment!!!
