Two years of sweet bliss....

Parker- tomorrow, you will be two years old. I can hardly believe it! Two years ago at this very moment, I was carrying you in my belly- feeling your movements wondering what color your eyes would be, and if you had hair and what color that would be...what your nose and ears and fingers and toes would look like. This baby that was moving inside of me....I knew so well, yet I had never met him.
Then- 8:55am came along on February 3rd and I heard the voice of angels...my baby...screaming as the doctors pulled you out of me. The most wonderful sound a mother could hear. Dr. Irwin showed you to me for the first time and it was amazing...how could I love this baby so much, and yet I had never met you before! They gave you to me wrapped up in your blanket and we just stared at each other...eye to eye...heart to heart...mommy and baby. To this day- I can feel the excitement and the awe that I felt at that very moment, meeting you for the first time.
On February 6th we arrived home and I began a life with you that I could have never imagined would be as blissful as it is. I never imagined my heart could love as deeply as it began to. I never imagined that I could truly give my heart to a child....I could never imagine being willing to lay down my own life for a child.
Tonight- after we read books- you let me rock you- your head in the crook of my arm and your legs all curled up...as I looked down at you my heart went back to the moments when you were Beckham's age...so tiny...and now...almost two you look so grown up, however, "I'll love you forever...I'll like you for always....as long as I'm living....my BABY you'll be."
