Different Love

A couple friend of ours recently became pregnant and I shared words of wisdom that my mom told me the day I Announced I was pregnant with Jenna, words that I will never forget and until the day Jenna was born never truly understood"You are about to know what it feels like to love something more than anyone else in this world". While both feelings are beyond words; beyond measurement you realize that the love for your husband is great, but when you have a baby and hold that baby for the 1st time, your life changes and you experience love that is grand (And I've been told that Grandkids are life changing too..) And then you have a second baby, and you experience those same feelings for the second time and even though you've been there done that the amazement, the joy, the love is so unspeakable that before the 2nd child is born you worry that it might not be the same; but the minute you hear that baby cry for the 1st time you realize that yes, yes you can love that same again that




Tonight watching the girls interact I realize that in our house there is another type of love that has been created, a bond something that came so natural for a 3 1/2 year old and her baby sister. Kara looks a Jenna with such joy and happiness, and Jenna can't get enough of Kara. I don't know why this was so important for me to write this post; maybe because I realize in 1 month Jenna is going to be 4, and maybe because I know that our baby making days are over, which is sad that we will never experience many of the things again, which is okay; because we have yet to experience so much. I love my girls with all my heart and soul.
