shot to the heart...

there are those few precious moments when you realize just how deeply you love your child, and tonight was one of them. jack just poked his head out to let me know he was going to go to the bathroom, and when he was finished he poked his head back out and let me know he was going to bed, but not before telling me "good night and i love you." now maybe it is the pregnancy hormones, but it brought tears to my eyes...all at once he was this little baby that i brought home almost five years ago and this grown-up boy, who till manages to make my heart swell. and now i have tears streaming down my face because i am overcome with immense love....what an awesome feeling.
