After Nolyn was born I was pretty surprised that I kept it
together when I finally got to meet her. I remember Adam taking a video
of me when I was holding her for the first time and I was literally
speechless. I just couldn’t get over how beautiful she was and how much
I already loved her. When I was pregnant I had so many dreams about
her and couldn’t wait to to actually meet her.
Every parent you ever meet will tell you cherish every moment and don’t wish away anything because it will go so fast and I didn’t understand it until I had Nolyn. It’s truly incredible how every day she does something new and different and I’m already so proud of her.
I remember two days after we came home from the hospital I was holding Nolyn in her room and playing music on Pandora (they have a lullaby station that is AMAZING) and the song “You are my Sunshine” came on and that’s when I had my first meltdown. Now when I say meltdown I mean it in a positive way. I had always heard that it’s good for a mom to sing to your baby while they are in your belly so that was my song for Nolyn. For some reason when I was holding her and the song came on it all hit me that my life had changed for the better forever and I am the mother of this beautiful little girl. It was such an incredible moment and I now tear up literally every time I hear that song.
Since then I swear to you every time she hits a new milestone I have another crying session. One of the biggest daggers was when she could hold a bottle on her own and when she stood up in her crib! The milestones are bitter sweet because you feel like they need you less, yet you are so amazed and proud of them for doing things on their own. Soon enough she’s going to be walking and talking which seems so crazy to me!
Everyday has really been a new adventure and I’m so excited for what’s in store and of course more happy tears.
