I didn’t know that 12 weeks ago I would fall so head over heels in love with a little boy.

I didn’t know how fiercely I would love him and how much I would LOVE being his mom, even on the “i’m so exhausted” days.

I didn’t know that I would love seeing him grow and learn so much. Seriously…. everything he does is cute.

I didn’t know how fast he would grow up.

I didn’t know that I would lay awake, staring at the monitor trying to see if he was breathing.

I didn’t know that being a mom requires complete selflessness. It’s serving without any reserve.

I didn’t know how much laundry a little boy produces.

I didn’t know that his smile would completely melt my heart.

I didn’t know that hearing him cry would make me want to hold him so tight that we both might feel better.

I didn’t know how much I would want to protect him.

I didn’t know how much he would make me laugh.

I didn’t know the level of exhaustion and hard work it requires to be a mom.

I just didn’t know.
