Hmmm.... I don't really have anything poignant to say, except that this sweet family reminded me of when Jake and I became a family of three. I guess I've been thinking about that time a little more since I'm pregnant again, and I've been really looking forward to those late night feedings when the house is so quiet and it's just me and a little itty bitty baby, sleepily falling more in love with my husband as I watch him stare in wonder at such a new little thing, and discovering how Audrey will interact with the new baby. I can't wait to see them love on each other!
I thought it might be a little selfish to start thinking about my own family as I'm writing a post about someone else's family, but I think it's a wonderful thing that parents can all relate in this way. It's a time filled with emotions that sticks in every parent's mind. I love that we as humans have common experiences and emotions that bring us together: I mean, once you discover that someone else is a parent too, you have a new way of understanding each other and you know that other person has a new way of understanding life in general. It's almost like being in a special club. I think that in heaven we'll all know the commonalities that we share and we'll all be bonded in a special way.
Seeing new parents is a little glimpse of heaven.
Congratulations John Mark and Faith! Welcome to the club! :)
