It is 3:30am on Sunday and I am up. I just washed some of Olivia's clothes, by hand, then got her diaper bag ready for church and other events today. I washed and sterelized all of her bottles and put aside the formula she will eat today. I filled in her feeding and potty chart and separated the dress she is going to wear to church. It is 3:30am and I am up, not for me, but for my daughter.
Imagine this: you're running errands, or with friends, or at your inlaws', or just sitting on the couch giving your baby a bottle, and then you look at her, and just... overwhelming love takes over and you start crying. Did this ever happen to you???
It has happened to me a lot lately. I love my baby SO MUCH! I don't want her to grow as fast as she is groing,! What the heck?! Why can't babies stay newborn forever???
Last week I was at a friend's wedding and they had music playing... One of the songs was "From This Moment On" by Shania Twain. I know it's supposed to be a romantic song that lovers will sing to each other, but when it got to the part "From this moment as long as I live, I will love you, I promise you this, there is nothing I wouldn't give, from this moment on..." I started crying! I was holding Olivia and she was sleeping like an angel and that song talks about unconditional love, which I now understand, and I just wanted time to freeze so I could hold her forever and ever!
Just thinking about it and hearing that song in my head right now gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes again.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better for worse, I will love you withevery beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this momentI will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
I had no idea being a mother was so amazing! Did you?

Isn't it amazing? And hard? But oh so amazing?
nao é incrivel?! A gente nao dorme, nao descanca, nao para, nao come... eles choram, gritam, fazem coco fedido, "machucam" a gente e tiram todo o nosso sossego.
E ainda sim, a gente ama esses pregetinhos de gente mais do que tudo. É uma ligacão inexplicavel e muito forte. E essa ligacão é dupla. Eles também amam muita a mamae, e tem coisas... muitas coisas, que só a mamãe pode fazer e só a mamãe pode acalmar.
Mas aproveite Kika, não lamente que a Olivia está crescendo, aproveite cada fase, porque cada fase é uma delícia. Para você nunca se arrepender de nada! RN é uma delícia... mas a fase que o Thomas está agora é tão divertida!
agora deixa eu ir pq o dever me chama.. meu picorrucho está aqui chorando!
bjos!
what a sweet post!! i agree....sometimes I just look at my kids and think I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! :) what a blessing to be a mom. it's so good to enjoy the moments cuz they go fast!
Eu tambem nao sabia que era tao amazing assim! amo demais RAchelzinha e nao posso pensar estar sem ela. Amo cada coisinha q ela faz, cada choro, cada risada e ate as manhas.

i love that picture of you guys.
You're such a cute mom. And I love the pic.
Don't they just grow up too fast. That's why I start to get a little antsy after a few months. Where did my little newborn go? Why is she so wiggly? But every stage is fun. Just be sure to capture as much as you can with that camera of yours.
Que lindo Kika! Que post emocionante. Eu ainda nao sou mae, mas eh meu sonho. Como voltei a estudar, decidi adiar um pouco a maternidade, mas o relogio biologio jah ta fazendo tic-tac. Vontade nao me falta... ainda mais quando vejo um post assim... hehe

I am smiling about this post because I do the same thing with so many songs now...they are supposed to be about romantic love, but they just make me think of my babies!!! I just think it is amazing that you can love someone so much that you just met and that makes so much work! (c: But it doesn't get any better than this, does it? (c:

Kika,
Amen sister, amen! I have been the same way lately! It is like all love songs are with Brighton now and not Robb...oops! I get teary eyed all the time thinking of this little stinker pants. I am in love with her...ahhhh we need to get together...let's go for a walk or something. Love you! and that sweet little Olivia.
I know exactly what you mean...Eu olho pros meus babys tao lindos e penso..Gente, que milagre! Eh inexplicavel.
Curta mtoooo. Mas eu li o comment da Anna e eh verdade, toda fase eh gostosa. A fase que a Jasmine ta agora eh o maximo. Ela repete tudo que a gente fala, tira sarro das coisas com a gente...Enfim, aproveite mtooo!
