my mom (who rocks, by the way!) often tells me that . . . "you're amazing". i've always just said thanks and chocked it up to the fact that well, she's my mom. moms say things like that, right? it's not that i didn't think she meant it but i just thought she was my mom, she loves me, she thinks i'm swell.
well, these last nearly 3 months now i find myself telling our little anabelle the exact same thing and i mean it, 100%!
i get it now. i can't believe that all this time there was this new understanding between me & my parents that was just waiting for me to have a baby. it's incredible! somehow i now appreciate them even more.
my brain wanders during the day, thinking about what it was like for them being home with me as a newborn. what sort of things did they chat with me about? did they watch me sleep too? did they get excited at all the new sounds i made, cheer for a nice loud burp, laugh at noisy dirty diapers? sure wish i could spy on a clip of back then. just over 2 weeks and i'll be home with them, sharing anabelle, getting to chat about all of those things, and soaking up tons of love. anabelle & i can't wait!
*bonus - she gets to meet her gran (chris' mom) and her great grandma kennison (my grandma).
