I like...
- ... that the baby holds onto my finger while I nurse her.
- I like that I can get her to stop nursing for a moment and smile at me by "flirting" with her.
- I laugh when I hold her up close to my face and giggle and chat with her, thinking she's totally focused on me, then realize she was focused on the fact that she's about to fill up her diaper or spit up all over herself and me.
- I don't like it when I'm in the middle of typing out long-in-my-brain blog posts and our poor dying computer black-screens on me. (save early and often!!)
- I want the fact that my baby is totally in love with me and I am totally in love with her to last forever.
- I remember that some days this will be a difficult moment to capture. I remember this when my four-year-old asks me (on one of those hard-to-love days), "Why don't you talk to me like you talk to the baby?"
- I wonder if someday, after my days are no longer filled with diapers and tears and laundry and weariness and endlessly messy rooms and little kids with urgent non-stop "needs," I'll ever recapture that same kind of ga-ga feeling I also used to have about my hubby.

The intense love will settle into something more stable and lasting. Your 4 year old already has it, but misses the intensity of that love at first sight you are describing with your daughter.
And with that kind of love in your life I am fairly certain the ga ga feeling for your husband will return one day too. I know this because it has returned to me. You are just giving so much to people right now, it is hard to think about giving more. But the best thing about husbands is when they wait loyally for the craziness to pass, helping deal with it along the way, and when things settle down you look at each other and realize you have been through something very big and very important together, and you made it, and the love will just fall back on you.
Thanks for the comment on Dirt Chic! I'm always mega-happy to hear that people still have their Caboodles... I had to dig mine out of my mom's linen closet - I had covered it in paper mache. Nice. It looks better in its natural state. :)
p.s. Sorry, meant to put this is Arwen... not some random Dirt Chic reader. :)
