More of that Sweet Baby Rhys content you’re all craving in a minute, but first I gotta rave about his momma.
It’s never been hard to picture Deanna as a mom.
Like, she naturally has all the qualities of a great mother. She makes everybody she’s around into better people. She’s caring and selfless, she’s beautifully wise, and she’s emotionally intelligent to her core.
It’s one of the reasons why I remained convinced we were supposed to be parents, even after trying unsuccessfully for a while. She simply seemed made for it.
Actually getting to see her in the role for the past few days has been absolutely beautiful. The patience and love and selflessness she shows while feeding Rhys, cheering him on as he learns how to latch, helping him get adjusted to the world are remarkable.
I keep thinking of all she’s physically done to prepare her body to mother Rhys- fighting back illnesses over the summer, watching her blood sugar and insulin ratios like a hawk, maintaining her health, visiting the doctor every other week, it’s pure selflessness. It’s pure love.
I’ve gotten to see a lot of beautiful things, but it doesn’t get much better than this.
