My beautiful baby is almost three months old. She is growing and changing so fast that it breaks my heart. Our family of four will remain a family of four. Even though this is what my husband and I want, it saddens me because every first is a last.
This posting is dedicated to my baby….
I loved you when you were a thought in my mind.
I loved you the minute I knew you were to be.
I loved you the moment I felt you inside me.
Your first cries will always be in my mind.
Your beautiful, thick, hair;
Your furrowed brow;
The rolls of skin around your neck, your wrists, your knees;
I love all of you.
I love the way you look at me as I feed you.
I love the way you grab onto my finger and hold on tight.
I love the way you crane your neck to look at me when you hear my voice.
I love your gurgles and your coos.
I love your laugh… it fills me with complete joy.
You are my darling baby.
My love for you hurts so much.
I don’t want to forget.
I want every moment to last.
I loved you. I love you. I will always love you.
Here are a few images and a song to capture the love that I have for you and the memories I never want to forget:

Hi! Just found you through bloggy mums. Loved your post. Very beautifully written. I can totally relate to your post. I am sitting here nursing my fourth baby and trying to embrace every moment as he is also my last. And even though we know that our family is big enough with our four beautiful children I still feel sad that I will never do this again. I guess we just have to enjoy these moments while we can.
Beautiful post and beautiful video :) my little boy is also nearly 3 months old… It does fly by so fast! Your words made me cry… A good cry, as I can relate to what you are talking about..
Oh, my. My Ruby just turned 10 months… I’ve been crying. We, too, are planning to stay a family of four…
Your slide show is lovely :)
Aww! My “last” baby is almost 9 months and I’m feeling the same way. I always feel like 9 months in the magic number, because before that they’d been inside you longer than they’d been out in the world. Thx for sharing and reminding me to dig out the pics I took for her when it was just the 2 of us in the hospital.
Such beautiful poetry, Jennifer! I loved this heartwarming post through & through. And I love how open you are – sharing that slideshow with your readers… beautiful… just beautiful…
