| Piggie, 3 days old |
They placed you in my arms tonight;
I can hardly believe that you are mine.
Tiny fingers,
tiny toes,
a tiny life that's gonna grow,
I've waited so many years for this day.
I want to make it stay.
I want to remember this,
every smile,
every kiss,
every moment's like a promise,
and I want to remember this.
We brought our bundle home tonight, half scared to death but on cloud nine.
And as I rocked you in the dark
I could feel your tiny heart;
I said a prayer as I kissed your sweet face,
"Lord, keep him safe."
Every season, every age will be beautiful in its own way, from preschool through to prom, even your wedding day.
And we'll celebrate and walk with you, each step that your life brings,
but there's something that's so sweet about beginnings.
I want to remember this,
every smile,
every kiss,
every moment's like a promise.
I want to remember this,
every tear,
every touch,
I just can't believe I love you this much,
and I want to remember, I want to remember this.

We just set this up today; my birthing pool for baby #2. I'm becoming a little emotional for reasons I can't really put my finger on. I know it is likely coming from my fear of things not being just me and Piggie any longer and the fear of not being able to love this baby as much. Feeling excitement for this baby almost makes me feel guilty, like I'm forgetting about Piggie.
I know this is irrational, as so many mothers have told me that you do in fact love the second baby just as much as the first. I'm so excited to meet him yet nervous too. I know he's going to be beautiful and I'm going to be in awe of him just like I was with my first. And I know time is going to fly even faster, so I really do want to remember all of this; if there's anything I learned from Piggie it's that they do not stay little for long.
