Today I woke up with a funny feeling in my tummy. I have felt it with my other children and this morning I felt it for the first time with Jude.
I loved him from the moment I first saw him, a feeling you would think could get no stronger. Well this morning I looked at my baby boy and a wave of new emotions came over me, a feeling of butterflies, like when you fall in love for the very first time. I almost burst with excitement and happiness that this little thing, fast asleep in his moses basket is all mine. This beautiful creature, with little hands and feet, a wee pot belly and a head full of hair, is half of me and I am lucky enough to get to look after him for as long as he will let me.
Something happens as a mother, something that seems almost inconceivable. Every now and then, just when you think you could love your little one no more, you find your heart has grown bigger and has been filled with even more love than you ever thought possible.
That is all. x
