I'm falling in love with this baby. Which feels risky and dangerous and rather foolish. After all, I will probably have to give him back. But somebody needs to be in love with him, and I guess that somebody is me. It's been a lot of fun, actually, and not as hard as I thought it would be. The most difficult part has been dividing my time between baby and Little A, who doesn't understand the new deal around here. Although it may be for just a few weeks, I'm grateful for this experience, to kiss his soft skin, smell his sweet little head, hold his little bag-of-flour body, and spend surreal hours with him in the dead of night. It's an honor.

…not to mention …pat his little flat chicken butt.. bathe his tiny red arms and legs and fill that little pink mouth with milk- yeah- I’m half in love myself and it’s only been a couple of times of short meetings between him and me!
It is an honor… you are right. And whether he is yours to borrow or keep forever, it is still an honor. You are angels on earth to do what you are doing. I admire you so much.
So sweetly stated, Allyson. So glad you two have each other. Will pray in the mean time.
aw, he is so precious. can’t wait to see him again. you’re right, it is surreal, but also a great honor. he deserves someone to love and care for him, even if it’s only for a short time. i’m so happy for you all that you get to experience this. talk to you later! xoxo 🙂
He is an amazing baby. You are an amazing mom.
You are doing such an amazing job! It is an honor to get to love on him no matter how long or short that time is.
Oh, Allyson that was so beautifully said. As I’ve said before you and Chad are my heros! As I watch you it reminds me to remember that all our children are on loan from God. I have no right to hold on to the gifts God has given me, but be thankful for the opportunity. I am amazed how naturally you have adapted to being such a great mom! We love you!
I remember holding Aidan when he was that new and feeling like the only real thing in the universe was the breath we shared back and forth. It’s amazing how someone so tiny and helpless can make you feel like you are the only one in the whole world capable of keeping him alive. I’m glad you are holding this precious one and soaking up the baby magic the way he is soaking up your love.
