My brand new baby boy had a small procedure today at Children's Mercy. When they laid him on the table and began to prep him, he opened his eyes from his nap and looked at me.

There is something in your heart that blooms when you have children. I knew that he would be experiencing pain and discomfort in a minute, and my heart just burst with my love and concern for him. He looked at me with such seriousness. Like he knew I was there to take care of him. Like I was his mom.

The love that you have for your children is just unexplainable. I would die for either of them. I would take their pain if I could. I love them without question or doubt. My throat fills up with emotion every time I stop to look at either of them... big, brown eyes, clear blue eyes...

It is scary to love something so much that you can't even think about it for long. It is overwhelming and hard to describe, but it is good to know that I can really feel like this for two, amazing boys who are mine.
