A Mother’s Letter To One Month Old Son.

hi there,

like you, I am writing letters to my kids too... hoping someday when they grow up they'll realize how much we love them :) I can feel your heart when you mentioned you're melting when he looks at you :) haha... truly a mothers feeling :)

please visit and share your wisdom in any of my posts.

thanks!

Jane this is absolutly beautiful!!! Tears again!!!

Congrats on your first month. I love the letter to you son.

Happy 1 Month-Day Monkey! And I am so happy to hear that Mommy Jane is feeling better too! Just don't put yourself down for how you have felt these past few weeks. I can promise you that Monkey is not at all disappointed and has not suffered at all!

I remember you saying in an earlier blog that you did not feel you had bonded with Monkey because you didn't know what he needed all the time. Well Jane, just re-read what you wrote above. You are BONDED! Being able to anticipate Monkey's needs is a matter of experience, not bonding. You will (and probably already have) learn how to tell what he needs through practice and experience.

Bonding is looking at Monkey and the world stops spinning because of the overwhelming love you feel.

Bonding is how you smile to yourself just at the thought of his eyes looking at you (you're smiling now, aren't you?).

Thank you for writing this blog. My little one is not due till November, and I am at high risk for PPD too. Reading what you and Tarzan had experienced this past month is really valuable to me, as I prepare for our new arrival. I am so glad you took the right steps to take care of yourself. Have fun with Monkey on his second month!

Love this Jane!
I write a monthly letter to my little boy too! For his first birthday I am going to have a book made (on shutterfly or somewhere) With the letters and pictures.. Then from his first birthday on, I will just write them once a year.
What an amazing thing for them to have when they are older! :)

Congratulations on one month of being Mommy to Monkey. Enjoy the time and how fitting that you have your first date night this evening. Have a wonderful outing with Tarzan :)

WOW, I can not believe it has been a month already!

Very sweet:) I recently found your blog and wow, that whole no maternity coverage/ one too many jello shots could have been hubby and me. Just now thinking of trying so in hindsight it is a blessing to not even have to "try". Congrats!
