Cooper and I were having a quiet moment together on Tuesday night. We were laying in bed just before he went to sleep. He was smelled like shampoo and lotion and was wearing his little pajamas. He was playing with my hair, while we were nose to nose. We were laying there talking about the day and he said, "Mommy, I love you. You my best friend in the whole world!" My heart melted! What a sweet boy I have. It's nice to know that when he settles down he can sill be so affectionate.
The comment got me thinking that I should really cherish these moments because they are so fleeting. In a little while, he won't be my baby anymore. He'll always be my baby, my special, special first born who I have loved and doted on for two and a half years. But very soon, I'll love someone else just the same. It makes me a little sad that our days of being "just the three of us" are almost over. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled, overjoyed, and ex tactic to have this baby girl with us. But Tuesday I realized this phase of our life is almost over. It is a precious section of time that will be forever changed in a few short days. I have loved every minute of it and am a better person for loving this little boy! I hope we're always best friends.

How very special the bonds of parenthood are. Is it any wonder, Heavenly Father puts so much emphasis on families? Definitely a tender mercy from above. I don't think I have ever heard anything more precious or special, than to have my children say I love you daddy. He is definitely a very special little boy.
So sweet Aimee. Enjoy those moments and be excited for all that is to come.
I can remember when I was in labor with my 2nd- I was bawling on our way to the hospital because I felt so guilty leaving Max to go have another baby. Little did I know.
Good luck! I can't wait to see her!
That was so tender. I'm feeling a lot of the same emotions, I never had just one to love, but I still call Brinkley my "baby girl" and Brax my "big guy"...I was just thinking the other day that I don't know what to call the new baby. Let alone name him. Bitter sweet! Our prayers are with you!
Aimee, I had a little shocked there. I opened up and saw you with a newborn. I knew it was too early for Maggie to be here. Hang in there. Your comments are precious!
Let daddy put this in persepctive for you; the best is yet to come. With every child, God seems to put more love in your heart and amazing times are coming your way. You learn to love in ways you didn’t know as possible. Your ability to love increases exponentially with each child. Each child is as special as the first even if you have seven. The little drawings, the flutophone concerts, church softball games at pioneer park, camping at sequoia, each little girls with an amazing hair do and looking like they just came of a magazine cover, first day of school pictures, getting that all important drivers license, Christmas pictures on the stairs, fighting over clothes, building the California mission, the sounds of them running up the stairs, everyone sitting down for dinner, FHE at halftime, the science fair, sports, piano and music lessons, seminary, YW & YW, their first broken heart, the first time they break your heart. It’s all good. Yes my dear, the best is yet to come.
