I'm really very excited to get to go see my brother's brand new baby today. Brooklyn was born yesterday and is my first niece on my side of the family. I'm reminded of my own stay in the hospital with Jaden. That first night was so tiring and yet I'm not sure I've ever felt happier. Sometimes during that night he would fuss just a little and I would tell him everything was all right and he would settle right down.
I find it difficult to believe that a woman could ever not believe in a god of somesort once she's had a baby. To create a baby inside of you is a miracle in itself, but once they are free of you they are already independent in so many ways. A little of you, a little of your spouse, yet entirely their own person with their own personality. I may be able to create a body, but I cannot create a spirit, a soul. This little person was some one before I came along. He has always existed, maybe just watching and waiting for me.
Having a baby is a very humbling experience. Partially because any sence of privacy in matters to your body are all gone, but more importantly it is humbling because God has trusted one of his sweet special souls to my care. Me. Who am I to recieve such a gift from heaven? I'm still not sure of that answer, and I may never be the greatest mom, but the one thing I am certain of is that my baby, my children will always be loved and know they are loved.
I also know this is true of little Brooklyn. Brand new from heaven to the arms of loving parents. She will also always be loved and know she is loved.
Welcome to world Brooklyn. And all you sweet sweet babies.
