My life has changed. It changed seven days ago when my son was born at 6:00 A.M. in the morning. I got my first glimpse of the child that saved my life and stopped me from riding the downward spiral of doom. The first thing I said was, “He’s perfect.” And he is, then I whispered to him that I love him, because I do. I never knew how much a person could love until now. He’s seven days old now and suddenly I can’t see my life without him. He means everything and more to me.
Last night I cried because I was tired and worn out and Vincent doesn’t like sleeping in his cradle and I want him in my bed with me. Finally I just put him in my bed on the other side where I wouldn’t rolls over on him. We both slept better and this morning I woke up after a night of only two large feedings, well rested and nearly as bright eyed and happy as my baby.
His uncle Aubrey is playing with him right now. It’s a perfect picture. His uncle Aubrey loves him so much and Michael (his daddy) is the perfect Daddy. Sometimes it’s hard doing so much myself because Michael has to do school but all I really want is for him to succeed and be as happy as I am with our baby boy. My life has meaning now more then it ever has before and I know Michael feels the same way. Before Vincent was born I figured that winning the lottery would make all my problems go away I’d have enough to move out on my own, enough to buy all the baby things that I need and enough money for whatever I wanted. Now That Vincent’s here he’s put me in my place and taught me how very little money actually means. Money can’t make him gain back the weight he lost, money can’t make him sleep at night, and Money can’t make his jaundice go away. I have all the baby things in the world my friends and family made sure of that. Moving out isn’t nearly as important now that I realize how much easier my family makes this whole thing. Most of all though no amount of money could make up for the love that I have for this little person.
