It's real...

It's finally happened... Last night, at 2:30AM, my sweet girl had her arms outstretched on my chest. She had just finished her late night snack and was making her little noises that proved she was content. I sat there in my armchair and stared at her in the dark. I knew right then and there that I loved this child with all of my heart. I didn't want to put her back in the crib so, I didn't. I sat there for as long as my arms could handle it.
