And yes, it is true that as soon as we knew he had been born, the rain stopped, the clouds parted and the moon shone bright over the Church of Scientology next door. He was the very first baby I ever saw "fresh", the first diapers I ever changed, the first sleepless night I got because of a baby crying. He is the first time I ever got emotional over 10 little fingers and toes. <BR/><BR/>I love you, ya big lug!Happy in the Abysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430029245934599353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-53068167751540903112008-03-24T01:57:00.000-06:002008-03-24T01:57:00.000-06:00A very sweet post, RC.

Shall we all have a good laugh over that one?<BR/><BR/>I actually do know someone who's first birth went exactly like that, including going home in her skinny jeans. As she'd had a lot of sorrow prior to it, I couldn't begrudge her that. Plus, I hadn't given birth myself, yet.<BR/><BR/>Here's to Sasquatch and his feet and his fuzz!

It is full of gaps. You could start with unconditional love. The biggest gap of all in my opinion. I never new what this meant until I held my own squealing bundle of joy-it takes your breath away. I don't think the book touched on this kind of love.<BR/><BR/>I hope you all enjoy the birthday celebrations. And I hope you finally fit back into your skinny jeans. LOL.
