I feel just exactly this same way about Timmy. Like my life could have never culminated to this point without him and our extrordinary relationship. This little soul we've got growing is a very astounding miracle indeed!
I'm so glad you're feeling some of that pre-babymoon bliss. I'm enjoying it, too. It's good for the soul!

You all make me all emotional and it was too early in the morning for that!!
