Do you think this journaling is a little to “here and there and everywhere”? Random thoughts I wanted to say just kept popping into my head, and I don’t know if it’s too reckless…
Journaling:
After everyone left, things settled down. I was finally able to able to
really settle in and get to know you. I was feeling less overwhelmed, as
it was quiet in the room. I was still flat on my back, so it was hard to really
look at you, but it was also more wonderful than I could have imagined… It
was time to feed you, so the nurse helped me get situated and you nursed for the
first time. It was amazing. You seemed to have a great sucking reflex… One thing
I wish is that I had better pictures of your first night. Things got a bit crazy, and
not many pictures were taken. It really depresses me! … So I went and took a bunch of
screen shots from the video tape that Daddy made, and these pictures are some of
them. I know they are not the best quality. The color is not good, and they are grainy…
But I figure they are better than nothing, right?… You look so sweet, lost in dream land in my
arms. Just look at your cute little face! I remember being so thrilled with your dark hair and
your olive complexion, because everyone thought you looked like me, and
that tickled me to death! My sweet little man looked like me, and I couldn’t
be more proud… I had loved you since the day you were conceived, but the
intense love I felt as I held you, was more powerful than I can describe.
