cry babies

The tears keep on coming at our household, only not from the baby. He's a mellow guy who rarely cries. When he does it is a few whimpers followed by one WAH! and that means I'm hungry.

The tears are from us, his sappy parents. We had several teary episodes in the hospital when we just couldn't believe how lucky we are that he's finally here. The day I left the hospital I was alone with the baby waiting for my husband to fetch the car. I started telling Spencer about how long we'd waited for him and how hard we'd worked for the exact moment we were about to experience. As I sobbed, huge tears practically drenched the poor boy. It is a moment and feeling I'll never forget.

And now he's home and he's perfect and we still can't believe our good fortune. I sometimes wonder if we knew how hard we'd have to work to get to baby if we'd have stayed on that path. Knowing the outcome, I'd say yes, but we've had a few very dark, hopeless years. So nice to weep because you are happy.
