To my sweet baby
and to everyone who supported me
through my consternation in having a boy
the first time I saw you ...
held up by a be-scrubbed medical person whom I didn't know
across a cold and sterile room
your cry sad and weak
... it was all a blur.
Pictures tell me I saw you 2 more times
but many many hours passed before
my heart woke in a panic
and thought
my baby! Where are you
and
why am I not with you!
when you grew inside me
safe and warm
i worried...
would i have enough love to go around?
can i really handle all the things
that you being a boy will mean to my life?
would you be so big that i would feel sad, missing the
baby i thought you would be?
All this worry, was for naught.
I loved you from the start.
All 11 lbs of you.
So long and tall.
Daddy says linebacker and volleyball star
I say you are just perfect.
Your soft head and cheeks
the way you snuggle in tight to me
how just being close to me you fell right to sleep
even after giving the nurses a hard time.
You have the sweetest face
I think that I have
already loved you forever.
Oh, that was the sweetest thing!
