Driving home this afternoon, I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw the reflection of my sweet babe, sitting in his car seat in the back of the car. Sometimes I think back to the days before he was born, and I almost have to pinch myself that it is real life. That he is here and he is mine and I get to love him forever and ever. I still marvel at how recently he was just a thought. How I didn't know he was a he, and I didn't know his name or his face. I think about how quickly that face, that little laugh, that amazing human that I didn't even know has become the one I know better than anything.

Your post brought back memories from when my son was that little. Tomorrow he turns 12! The time goes by so fast. Enjoy every minute.

Your post reminds me of when my children were babies. I remember feeling so in awe of them--these amazing, perfect little people. There is no love like the love of a parent and there are no words to describe it. Enjoy every second!!!

I put off getting pregnant because I couldn't imagine it being a good experience. However, I was pregnant again by the time my first was 10 months old because I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. Being a mama is great.
