I love my son, he's this amazing little person, and I still can't believe that we created this human being!  Yes, I said it like that.  I think the one thing I wasn't ready for was how much I would fall in love with this guy.   You always hear it and think, well of course!  It's my kid, instantaneous and crap.  It really is like that though.  It's this rush of emotion you didn't think you had, just bursting out.  The pain, the exhaustion, it's all worth it just to have them look at you, like you are the best person in the whole world.  I feel exhausted half the time, and so grateful for my husband that took off work for two weeks.  I don't know how single mothers do it, but I praise you for being capable!  If I didn't have my husband helping me out, I would be crying in fetal position, in the closet.  I feel blessed everyday though, and so happy to have this little guy in my life.  As mischivious as he looks at times.
