I have spent the last four weeks getting to know her, bonding with her, feeding her, cherishing quiet moments before bed time with her daddy, changing millions of diapers, watching my husband fall in love with his little girl, rocking her to sleep, sleeping less, napping more, and just being her mommy. Even when she's fussy and I can't figure out why, and I'm majorly sleep deprived...I can't imagine anything I'd rather be than her mommy. I'm so in love with this little girl. It's hard to imagine what our lives were like without her.
We chose not to find out what we were having (another post on that some other time). Matt had been known to say he wanted a boy. Mostly because he'd be happy with a handful of girls as long as he could have just one boy to share his love of sports with. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if he spent 9 months praying for a boy or anything, but I do remember thinking not long after she was born something to the effect of, I wonder if Matt wishes it was a boy. Moments later he turned to me with tears in his eyes and said, it's hard to imagine her being anything but exactly who she is. It was so true.
She was and is our Emma. What a gift. Indescribable. We are truly blessed beyond measure.
