Today is a good day!

Ever since my baby came into my uterus, I've known a lot about him. I knew he was a boy the instant I saw that positive hpt. I just felt it in my bones. I also had a feeling he was going to be born on April 27th. Months before the day, I randomly turned to my husband and said, "I think he's going to be born April 27th..I just feel it!" and lo and behold, he came right when mommy guessed it. My son and I have a really strong connection which doesn't surprise me. My mom and I have that same connection. I can't even count the amount of times I've had a craving for one of her dishes, only to come home and have that dish be made without me even mentioning it to her. It's just how we work. Emotionally, I know this bond is as thick as can be, but today something really special happened. I went home for lunch and my son was jumping in his jumper, once he saw me, his face lit up with that most amazing smile and when I was finally able to reach for him to pick him up, my baby reached back for me. He lifted his arms straight up and reached for me to grab him and pick him up. This is a first for me and my heart is both full and broken. I guess it never really dawned at me that my continual reaching for this beautiful boy would some day be met with his arms open and reaching for mine. How special am I to deserve such a tender love! Needless to say, I left home feeling a tremendous amount of love. Teary eyed, I drove back to work. These moments are absolutely priceless. I'm left so breathless. To my baby, know that your love is everything to me. I thank God for you every single day and I cherish every moment, every second that I get to spend with you. I hope you know me and daddy will give you everything you need in life and most of the things you want (haha!). You make me so happy baby. Thank you for your love, your smiles, your wet kisses, and for letting me love you. You and daddy have made mommy's life.
