it has been only eight weeks, and i already could not imagine my life without little m. while my love for her was not instantaneous as so many people assured me it would be, it has grown exponentially from the moment my delirium from labor wore off. the more time i spend with this miracle of a little person, the more time i want to spend with her.
i am in total awe at the fact that i had anything to do with her existence. that i grew her fingers and toes and cheeks all inside my own body. i am in disbelief that i helped bring her into the world, and that she is going to grow into a person that walks and talks and has her own articulated ideas one day.
but before all of that, i hope to learn from the many things she has to teach me. for now it is to live very much in the present.

you are giving yourself a shout out? lame-O. your physical contribution seems to have been 100%. so far!!
when V was born I had similar thoughts and I would look at women in the street and try to imagine that little V would become like them and it was inconceivable for my narrow mind at the time. I still have a narrow mind :)
