A Ring ... A Hand ... A Head ...
Dec 17 '00
Three seemingly unconnected things launched me into a sea of tears last night.
A Ring
My husband's. Still shiny gold after 3 years of marriage, and never taken off, not even for a moment. The vows we made on November 29, 1997 still hold true today. Gleaming in the dark last night, while just a faint light shone.
A Hand
My husband's again. Big and strong, willing to move mountains to protect and provide for his family. My husband's hand. How amazing that we even found one another, let alone made it together this far. How those hands have comforted me through the time we have had together.
A Head
...(Sigh) ... Blondish brown and starting to finally sprout some hair. Perfectly round with the most beautiful eyes, now closed. My son, now 7 months.
-------------------------------------
For any couple, a baby is God's trusted blessing. For a couple dealing with infertility, more so. Having Colin was one of my life's greatest bonuses. Bonus because I never was quite sure if he was going to happen.
7 months, he is still here, and his unique personality is shining through. Only wanting a night time bottle, Colin now covets many jarred foods. Always exceptionally vocal about wanting to select his own toys, he now has an infinite collection. Just last week we videotaped Colin sitting up, and riding his plastic horsey for the first time. Extremely independent, wanting to take naps and sleep on his own, just him and his favorite stuffed pals.
And noisy as the day is long. No words yet, but I swear I hear him say "Oh Ma" at times. His best friends, his mommy and daddy and his 2 dogs. Wiggling and squirming now when we try and change him, Colin has developed many unique baby wrestling moves to try and outfox us.
We will move mountains to hear him laugh, and my heart melts every time I see him. I never knew love like this.
7 months and counting, and not a day goes by that I do not stop and thank God that he is here. Not A Single Day ... I Never Knew Love Like This.
