The words that stopped me in my tracks and made me think today ;)
Even though she's 3 and only has a stuffed animal under her top, I wondered about how I will feel when/if she tells me this for real when she's older/married/able to have her own little family. It's so hard to imagine our future when all I want to do is protect and nurture her as she is now. '<3 her bones' as the saying goes.
Then I wondered how my mum felt when I told her I was expecting the first time... and then sadly lost it... and the time after that, when I gave birth to my little girl and my mum happened to still be in the delivery room same time as my husband, so saw the birth firsthand... and then finally, this time... what sort of feelings come up? I would only imagine I'd feel helpless and protective all over again. I may just ask her... or leave my curiosity here for another day...
