Along those same lines, I've never been so emotional. I can't watch medical or forensic shows that focus on a sick, hurt or murdered baby ... I cry the entire show. I can't watch movies that even talk about harming babies or the news when someone has been cruel to a child. I have to change the channel because I simply cannot get the poor baby out of my mind for the entire day or longer.
Last week I stumbled upon a blog of a someone I don't even know. Recently, one of her twin nephews was found in his crib not breathing. He died at the age of two months. Before having a child of my own, I would have been saddened and felt horrible for the family. But now, not only do I feel these things, but I also feel a small bit of the pain the mother must be going through. After reading about the devastation, I sat in my office and cried. I can hardly think about a situation like that without tearing up. I no longer have control over my heart and emotions, they have taken on a new life in the form of a little boy:

Judah was just mentioning the other day how much she misses Nate. She was asking when he would finally come visit her. Sadly, I had nothing to tell her and she went away dejected.
Luckily her attention span is pretty short and she got over it...
How could you not be completely bonkers over a little guy like that! :)
(And I cry at all of those things now... what will I be like when I have kids?!)
I can totally relate. I cry every time I see a news story about a child being hurt and I just give my kids a little bit longer of a hug that night for all the kids who don't have a mom or dad that loves them as much as my babies are loved.
That is the cutest picture.
I also now get REALLY upset over news and TV shows about hurt children. And, I saw the blog you referenced as well, and I cried like a baby.
I am so greatful that my baby is healthy thus far. I am already overcome by how much I love him. It is crazy.
