I was very moved by your entry. i know some part of your struggles, and it reminds me of my own struggles. "Hubby was always quick to assure me that even if we never have children, that he would love me the same and that he was just grateful to be able to spend his life with me — with or without children." - this is what Kris said too. I know that you both will be awesome parents - and I think that this will bring you both even closer together! that’s such a beautiful picture! i love it!

I have faith that you and Hubby will do just fine. Love is always the answer. Just hold the new, improved snowflake as much as you both can, use a sling and the baby will get bonded for life at the deepest levels (leave the stroller, et al until later). When you are holding her at 2 in the morning and feel that little sigh as she relaxes deeper into sleep and you know she feels safe and secure and that you would die for her without a second thought if need be, well you will just Know. My oldest son had his first child, Alice Sumire (if I spelled that right, means violet) on July 31 and he had that dazed look first time parents often have right after the birth, the realizations that come upon seeing the baby in person, and the love that goes with the dazed look was just great. May you both have the same . What a wonderful blog and photo! I have faith that you and Hubby will do just fine. Love is always the answer.

The one piece of advice that I could give would be that in spite of all the love and attention you give your child, make sure you save just a little bit of that for each other. I'm sure you guys will do great! That’s a very nice story, Donna.

There are good and bad to each "stage" in the child's development. Our sweet little baby girl is going through her teens now. Oh the drama.. the drama... (Said in a Marlon Brando voice a la Apocalypse Now) On the other hand our kolohe boy has been transformed into an angel this past year. (???) OK, what alien came to this planet and swapped out his brain? No worries, you WILL be changed but it will be OK. All’s I can say is take it one day at a time.

And yes, it can be disruptive as much as it can be something that solidifies life's bonds. But you and your hubby, Donna, will be fantastic and loving parents, and fantastic and loving partners. I have absolutely no doubt. In your challenges we are with you. But in your doubtless many triumphs, we are with you, too, and cheering and laughing and sharing in your joy. As a proud parent, I've never wanted parenthood for anyone else as much as I've wanted it for you. And I cannot wait for you to truly know why. And... FANTASTIC photos, Lisa. There is no one else I'd trust maternity (and, soon, baby) photos to more! Children change your life in almost every way.
