Just because

I spent the past hour holding Georgia. She was asleep the whole time so I could've put her in bed, but I just wanted to hold her. Just because.

I wanted to hold her
because I love her so much,
because she's so tiny and warm and cuddly,
because she won't be this size for long,
because I can't get enough of her beautiful face,
because I'm so glad she's here,
because she's such a miracle (as all babies are),
because there's nothing better than holding your baby.

***

This sums it all up for me...

Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of love.
