When Nina was born, we were so excited to share her with the world. "Come see the baby"....and they all came. We let the grandparents babysit her, friends hold her - sharing her all along the way. That's what you do with the firstborn. Look at her! We made her!!
Asher has been different. I've held him a little closer, a little longer, a little tighter. He's been mine. I haven't wanted to nor felt the need to share him with anyone. He's my last baby and it makes me sad that he's getting so big. Bound to happen, I know, but still sad. I didn't invite anyone over to see him, barely let anyone hold him, and have certainly never left him for any length of time. He's mine. I'll share him with Blake, but I think he understands my obsessiveness and just lets me be.
So, today we celebrate the big day with song, cake, presents, and yes, quite a few tears.
