I Had a Baby...And I Still Love my Husband!

I had a baby four months ago. He is my pride and joy, my little sidekick, my sweet sweet angel and I love him more than words could ever express. I also still love my husband.

You're probably thinking, "I would surely hope so!" But allow me to explain.

"You'll never love someone as much as you'll love that little boy"

"You have no idea what love is until you have a child"

What?? Did I just hear those words? These were word for word some phrases that were said to me while I was pregnant and these things were added to my "I don't like that at all" list. What about the man that I am madly in love with, who is the reason we are having this little boy? How could I possibly love someone else more than I love the one I promised to spend eternity with, the one who I gave my whole heart to and who I share my whole life with? The answer is simple; I cannot. It is not possible.

I love my husband as much as my child, and I love that little baby as much as I love my husband. Of course, they are two different types of love, one is the unwavering love of a mother and one is a committed and romantic love, but to say that one is stronger than the other just hurts my heart to even consider. These two boys mean more to me than the world, and I know that I'll feel the same way about our future children. I love my family with all my heart and as it grows, my love multiplies, it does not divide.

**For me, no love compares to that of a mother to her child, nor to that of a wife to her husband**

So please, next time you want to try to express to someone how much they are going to love their child (which is impossible to put into words, I totally understand), just do it in a way that does not put the significant other on the back burner because if it weren't for mine, we would not be a beautiful family of three.
