falling in love

This afternoon I experienced the once in a life time sensation of falling head over heels in love with my baby. We were home alone while Mike was at the store picking up some groceries. We were snuggled up in the chair and listening to music. And then a song that always brings tears to my eyes came on. All of a sudden I had this wave of warmth that radiated out from the center of my chest, a sensation I had never had before. And then this overpowering feeling of love for Jack. People talk about the moment you truly bond with your baby. I thought that had happened at birth but know that it truly happened at that moment. I was so incredibly happy and thankful for this little being that is now in my life. It's a moment that I will never forget. And while I was enraptured with my baby at home, Mike was separated from his baby for those few minutes he was at the store. And this was when he had his moment of realizing the enormous love he has for Jack due to simply missing him. When Mike got home we realized that we fell in love at the same time.
