I've fallen in love with someone. His name is Quinn, he weighs about 8 pounds and is 1 month old. He's got blond hair, big blue eyes, and the cutest lil nose you ever did see. He is absolutely amazing in every way possible. He stole my heart before he had even made his way into the world, and by the time we were introduced to each other my heart had melted completely.
He has made me totally weak, in every way....I cried when I first found out he had started growing in my sister's belly, I cried on and off all day while he was making his grand entrance into the world {even though I was thousands of miles away from him}, I cried when I first got to see his tiny body via skype {amazing how great technology is these days}, meeting him in person for the first time was incredible... the instant I saw my sister and him in the airport my breath was literally taken away from me....and then I cried {it would have been more of a whaling (perhaps like a baby) if I wouldn't have controlled myself, that's how excited I was}, we shared 5 quick phenomenal days together and then it was time to say goodbye....and boy did I cry. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions; I went from one of the best days in my life so far of meeting my only sister's firstborn to one of the hardest days, saying goodbye to this new person who had captured such a huge part of my heart. I love him. To death. He is just marvelous. It's just incredible to me how full my heart felt when I was with him; it makes me excited to have my own kids someday, because if I feel this much love for my nephew I can't even fathom how much love I'll have for my own babies!
As hard as it is to leave him, it makes it easier for me knowing that my sister and he will be coming out to Colorado the end of Oct for a week to visit. I can't WAIT!! Oh and his mommy and daddy asked me to be his Godmother, which guess what.....made me cry :)
Each of my nieces and nephews holds a special place in my heart. There is something about that sister connection and their children. There are barely words to describe it. Just wait until you begin your love affair with your own child. There are absolutely no words to describe the love and emotions tied to that one!
ReplyDeleteI seriously can not even fathom the kind of love/connection I will have with my own kids. You're exactly right, there are barely words to describe the connection I have with Quinn...before I even held him in my own arms I was totally in love with him {oh gosh, I'm getting teary just talking about it...see, he's made me totally weak!}, I couldn't get enough of him the whole time I was there and couldn't wait for him to wake up and be done with his feeding so it could be my turn to snuggle him!!
