This week's challenge at I Heart Faces is, appropriately, Motherhood.
This is me, experiencing motherhood for the first time, and so happy and thankful and full of love that I thought my heart was going to explode. More than two years later, I still feel that way when I look at and kiss this boy.
Jude was born just after noon (I actually just posted his birth story yesterday), and that evening after all of our family left, I changed Jude and myself into some of our own clothes and Josh took a few pictures of the two of us. I initially didn't like this one very much because I felt like the IV on my arm ruined it, but as time goes by, I see every detail of this picture as so perfectly a part of our story-- the IV, my wedding band, his little blue hat that was too small for his huge head, and the expression of love and thankfulness on my face.
Thanks, I Heart Faces, for giving me a chance to relive this moment!

So, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what, funny coincidence. My Jacob who was born just around the time that Jude was, had that same outfit, and I had that same nursing nightgown that you're wearing :)
