I will never forget how I felt after both of my children were born. I instantly fell in love and knew that those days would always be some of the happiest I will ever know.
I had a long, hard labor/birth with Grant, and I was tired and in pain after his birth. Of course, I was happy, but I was also sort of in a fog (so to speak).
With Anna, I had a scheduled c-section. So, I was well-rested, relaxed, and not in pain.
I remember an overwhelming feeling of completeness for our family after Anna was born. I had my boy. I had my girl. God was so good to us. Even though I felt great after Anna's birth, I was sick after the anesthesia got going through my body shortly after being in the recovery room. It didn't matter though - I was on top of the world.
Happiness is about feeling complete, being surrounded by love and joy. I know that the ultimate happiness lies in the hereafter, and I know at that time, it will be awesome.
I thank God for my babies every day. :)
I love this picture of Grant and Anna. You are blessed with beautiful babies :)
