I've always kind of felt like my mom and I had a special connection. Like one of us always knew when the other was going to call, or we would know exactly what the other was thinking. I now know that this was no fluke. It's amazing the inexplicable connection that a mother and baby have between them. When my water broke at 4am, Dan called my mom after the madness settled and she was awake - having woken up at 4am knowing that something was happening. Again - it's that inate connection. I've started to discover little moments like this between Bodhi and I as well. In the night I'll wake up and lie there and look at him - not even a minute later he'll open his eyes as well. Or I might wake up and sneak a peek and he's lying there studying my face quietly. We always seem to know when the other needs us. I can't even begin to explain how special this makes me feel. I feel so lucky and so privileged to be this little boy's mom.
