Before I had Clay people would always try to explain a mom's love, but I never got it. I was so far off. Mainly because words do not exist that can explain the insurmountable love that you have for your child. It truly is a feeling like no other. Nothing even comes close to it. I mean it. Nothing.
I look at him every single day and love him more and more.
It was such a strange feeling to see him for the first time - it was an instant love. No other love is instant. No other love is overwhelming in an instant like that. It is love at first sight. Truly. I do believe in it now. I didn't even know him - I hadn't been acquainted long enough to love him like I did. It was baffling. It took me by surprise. I expected that I would be flooded with emotions. I expected to feel an unbelievable connection with him. I expected to love him. But I did not expect what happened next. I fell in love - deeply in love. The world around me suddenly changed. I realized that we were living now - almost questioning what else I had done worthwhile in my life before him. (Aside marrying the most wonderful man I have ever known or will ever know.)
He's the best little guy ever. (Parents of other little guys might argue with me.) He has changed me for the better. He makes me a much better person. A much better woman. Someone told me Sunday at work that motherhood looks good on me. I'm so glad people see it! I feel it every day and it makes me feel great that it is recognized! I am happier than I have ever been - getting happier with each day that passes. (And feel truly blessed. And extremely thankful.)
