Zenkei – (meaning inconceivable joy)
At 10:10a.m. August 2nd 2010, I fell head over heels in love with a baby boy named Zenkei. He came into our lives a week ago today and already, I can’t imagine a life without him. His quirky facial expressions, innocent big brown eyes, and light touch warms my heart and makes me fall in love with him more and more each day.
The life of this baby boy goes back to a post I made back in February where I announced I was pregnant. Being pregnant for the first time, I had those typical anxious feelings with the “What if?” questions running through my mind. But those questions and feelings were finally answered when I heard his first cry and the chance to hold him in my arms for the very first time. It’s such a surreal feeling to hold something that’s a part of you and the person that you love the most in your life. Adam and I still pinch ourselves when we look at Zenkei. It’s incredible how we could have created something so beautiful, that is living and breathing right in front of you.
Today, the fears and questions that worry us relate to his future; if we’ll be good parents, can we give him everything that he needs to take on the life ahead, etc. But with the both of us together, we will take it day by day, taking in every moment and giving him everything we can.
We love you Zen…always.
