two months

i have spent the last 62 days
in awe of this sweet baby
that we created.

entire days have been spent
gazing at this baby that is thriving
from the milk he drinks from my body
and the love that his papa and i give him.

the laundry is not done.
there are dishes in the sink.
the bathroom needs to be scrubbed.
phone calls are not returned.
thank-you notes need to be written.
and sleep-deprived, i stare.

he sticks out his tongue on purpose
and says, "ah-coo" as he smiles.
he really is brilliant.
sigh...

i thought i knew.
really, i did.
but nothing.
nothing could have prepared me for
all of the love that has filled my heart.

it is scary and wonderful at the same time.
