Corey is my current favorite-person-on-earth. As I type that his son has decided to rearrange himself in my belly – my mom said I rolled all the time and I think Colin has decided that will be fun for him too. It kinda freaks me out because I think he is trying to get out through the front of my stomach, but I am pretty sure he’s just getting comfy. But anyway, Corey sometimes worries that when our new-mutual-favorite-person-to-be arrives on earth I won’t care about him anymore. So I try to let him know as often as I can that I love him, and why. Part two of this post will be photos of a little book I made him, so he has it in writing when I can’t pay attention to him later on. =)
But in the meantime, I want you all to head over to his blog and read his latest post. It just melts my heart. And after you read it, please tell him how he will be the best daddy ever. And also tell him how your children have survived your own parenting apprehensions.
And when you are done, check out Corey’s guest post on Matt’s blog, for Corey’s take on the New Kids show.
As you know I don’t have any kids of my own (that I gave birth too that is) but mum was child minder from when I was born, on & off till I was 18 & they were foster parents too so although I only have 1 actual brother many kids past through our doors! And I’ve changed more diapers (we call them nappies) than any person should have too, and I know it’s not quiet the same as being a mum (yet I still get those phone calls from some of the kids now adults at 3am “he’s split up with me boohoo” can you come pick me up or I’m in trouble!) so I count my self as an aunt. so although it’s true things are not going to be the same anymore they are going to be different a whole lot more interesting , amazing and you grow with them trust me your gonna make wonderful parents (the fears & doubts your going through perfectly normal everyone gets them even if they don’t admit it, I’ve watch them over & over with the families we had the luck to look after they’re children & my friends who’ve had kids) ok better go need more medication my cold is kicking in again Seeya hugya *G*
ps dropped in on Cory’s blog left a comment but I would have any way !
There’s no doubt in my mind that Colin will be well-loved by both his parents. That’s really all that matters!
I left a comment over at Corey’s blog.
Parenting is something that you learn as you go, believe me I know. lol
Before I had Lillee I had no clue, I’d never babysat so it was all new. I am still learning each and everyday but it a wonderful lesson in life.
As for being replaced by a child, never…
You and Corey created your child, in my eyes Colin is equally loved with Corey.
Thanks for the email! And congrats on your pregnancy, too. Things DO change between you and your hubby, but MOST are for the better. There is no greater feeling of love than when holding your son for the first time and looking over at the man that gave him to you.
Aw. It really is a new kind of love you’ll feel. It’s amazing. And wonderful. But I must admit, there are times when you’re changing the fifth diaper in a row in the middle of the night while the man half sleeps on peacefully…that’s not such the loving feeling. But it all works out in the wash.
