For me, it's happened with all three children now.
You suffer. You endure 9 months of discomfort . Labor. Delivery. Recovery. You change diapers around the clock. You choose between grocery shopping and a shower. You do everything one handed, since he insists on being held at all times. You get puked on. So you change clothes, then you get puked on again. And since you only have 2 things that fit your postpartum body, you wear your pajamas for the rest of the day. And let's not even get started on how little sleep you're operating on.
And you do it all for a little creature who not only doesn't thank you, but who doesn't even seem to acknowledge that you exist.
And then, one day . . .
he smiles at you.
And he's forgiven.

Cutest post ever!!!!! Happy birthday again...to you and a belated one to little Miss adorable Londyn.
What a great birthday present! And what a cute little guy...do you think he saved a smile for tonight?
I agree with Rachel, cutest post ever!! What a sweet boy:) I hope all those other things get better really soon!
Didn't I just see him like 2 weeks ago? He looks huge now! Love that smile!
What a cutie pie!
He is so cute. I LOVE the bottom left picture. Not even sure why you change when puked on. Don't think I ever did. Smelling like spit up is part of the job description! :-) Oh crap. I forgot your birthday? How did I do that??!!! What a lousy friend I am. Happy late birthday!
In defense of myself though, we did a last minute trip out of town, so I wasn't think of much of anything. Darn, I feel bad!
what a cutie. that smile is precious.
He is so cute. I am so glad you guys stop by the other night. It was soooooo fun to be able to see him in person.
He is darling! We can't wait to actually see him! Hope you guys are doing well.
A well-written, true-to-life post. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my! That brought tears to my eyes!! Amen sister. :)
