I loved him before he was even born but that in-love feeling took a day or two. When he first came out I was pretty out of it from exhaustion and a little bit stunned he was finally here. We also didn't know what sex we were having so it took a bit for it to register that the baby was finally here and that I had a little boy. I remember we were still in the hospital and he was sleeping in his bassinet (I was unable to get out of bed unassisted for a few days) and I had this overwhelming need to cuddle with him. I can't remember even how I got him into the bed with me but I remember looking at him sleeping on me and I just fell in love with him. I couldn't believe that he was actually mine and I was going to get to take him home. I was falling asleep and the nurse came in and asked if I wanted to put him back in the bassinet so I could get some sleep but I didn't want to let him go, so she surrounded him with pillows so he wouldn't fall out of bed and I fell asleep with him.
