You baby, are My Exception

Only you could keep me up at night, deprive me of so much sleep and still deserve smiles in the morning.

You alone could projectile vomit in my hair and have me feel bad for you, not myself.

Kissing anyone else’s feet, wouldn’t even be a consideration.  Or picking their nose.  Ick!

I wouldn’t cook for anyone else after they threw what I made on the floor.

You baby, are my exception.

A Letter to My One-Month-Old Son

Dear Sweet Boy,

I have loved you from the moment I found out I was pregnant.  I’d been dreaming of you and wishing for you and when I found out you were coming, life changed forever.

I am overjoyed that you came into this world almost three weeks early because that means I have you in my life for those extra days.  Time I will always cherish.

You have turned our world upside down, our nights into days, and have taught us patience and a love so deep it’s scary. You have installed a sense of awe in both me and your father.  How in the world did we make a such a perfect little being?!

I am so very happy and proud to be your mommy.  I promise that I will do my very best to make sure that you are healthy and happy all of your days.  I vow to do everything in my power to make sure you are a gentleman, and that you’re respectful of others.  I pledge to help you become your best self and to make sure you are capable of becoming the man you’d like to be.

Your daddy is a great man, and we are very lucky to have him.  I hope that you inherit his charm, wit and laid back cool.  Look up to him, he is someone to emulate.  He will serve as a terrific role model and will be your very best bud.

You are so loved.

Love,

Mom
