Thank you for coming into my life, just 6 days ago. I never question for a moment that everything I went through to bring you into this world was worth it, a million times over. You, along with your sister and your father, are the light of my life.
Thank you for the way you snuggle up to me, the way you show me that you feel safe with me. I love the way you bury yourself in my breast to nurse and the way you finish off - milk dribbling down your chin, half asleep, drunk with the sweet nectar of life that I provide.
I love your eyes, your nose, your tiny little hands, and your head that has that amazing newborn smell -that smell I drink in as we cuddle with your head on my shoulder. I love your teeny tiny little feet that I can hold in my hand, those feet that wear the little green booties that your Mammie so lovingly knitted for you.
I love the little sounds you make - the grunts you make when you are squirming to get your arms out of your swaddle blanket, the random squeaks you make when you suddenly snap to attention, the full on newborn cries you make when you cannot go another moment without the security and nourishment of my breast.
I love that you are ours, now and forever, the product of your father and my love.
Melanie, I will always love you.
forever,
your mama
