Sometimes when I look at my daughter I get so overcome with emotion (yes, probably still the damn hormones) for seemingly no reason. I remember the last time I felt this much excitement about something was when I was in high school, getting ready for a sleepover with my girlfriends (odd thing to compare it to, I know). I get this feeling in my chest that almost warms me from the inside out and always makes me smile. When she smiles back....All the more amazing. Sometimes I just watch her sleep and think to myself, how did we make such a beautiful person? Am I doing the right thing by bringing something so innocent and pure into a world that has gone so ugly in many ways? All I know now is the shift. Y life has taken since she's been born has been remarkable. Forever the pessimist...what would I ever do now if anything happened to her? Leave each day to the fullest and never take a single moment for granted because it really does go by fast... ❤
