I was staring at Eden on Saturday and overwhelmed with love. This made me ponder the mysteries of a parent's love for a child. Even though Eden is so new to our family, I have a great love for her that came right away. It was the same for Noah and for Paige. I thought about how lucky I am to be a mother and experience falling head over heels in love every time I have a baby. It is such a magical feeling. It is also amazing how love doesn't replace other loves and that a parent's heart just grows bigger and loves each child individually and with a deep love. As I hugged Noah and Paige last night before they left the hospital I was filled joy from the love I have for each of them.
This new love affair is what makes it so hard to leave the hospital and not be with Eden 24/7. It makes it so hard to think about letting Eden go. It is a miracle she is here on her 7th day and yet, now we have her, we don't want to ever let her go. We are smitten.
