{you changed me, baby}

Its no secret that I loooooove JJ Heller.  She's spunky and faithful and she's a momma.  I can relate to 99% of her songs.  She speaks to me, you see.  When I was pregnant I would try so hard to imagine what it would be like to hold my babies.  Which is difficult when you're throwing up for the 324th time that day.  Would I be instantly and forever changed?  Would the world take on a new rose colored hue? 

I don't know if this song is about love between a couple, love between a person and God or love between a mother and her child, but it gets me.  It says it all without being too deep or too cheesy.  JJ for the win! 

When I'm with you-JJ Heller

When I hold you in my arms, Love
Something changes
It's the strangest feeling
The things that used to matter
They don't matter to me
When I see you
And you're smiling
How my heart aches
So full it is about to break
You make me believe in love

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

When I hear you, and you're crying
It resonates, Dear
In a place I didn't know was there
You make me believe in love

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

Beautiful baby
You're sweeter than strawberry pie
Just like the morning
Your smile brings the sunshine

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

I love when I hear a song at just the right moment and it puts my heart to music.  As we approach my little darling's first birthday (less than two months OMG), I'm getting more and more reminiscent.  

The first months with a new baby (or two) are spent surviving.  So much of their first 3 months is a blur.  I would give anything to be able to step back into that brand new baby haze and just bask.  I want to smell my sweet newborn's heads.  I want to watch them stretch that sweet brand new baby stretch.  I want to fold them up on my chest and sit listening to them breathe their tiny baby breaths.  Oh I miss those days.  

I'm not sure if I told you yet, but my babies are the shit.  Seriously.  I miss the new baby days, but wow are they fun right now!  There's so much personality in my house!  They are little humans, mini-sized people.  Every day that gets more apparent.  They're really coming into their own.  They're starting to carve out who they are and I just love to watch them discover this world.  

The best thing about this whole twin thing is that they have each other.  They love, they fight, they laugh, they cry, but they're two peas of a very special pod.  Never to be alone or without a playmate.  As early as 5 months they were comforting each other.  At naptime they "talk" and laugh.  They stand up in their cribs and reach for each other.  They make each other giggle in this babbly language only they understand.  They're just fabulous little creatures.  I'm in awe everyday....I mean obviously, I obsessively post almost daily about my children.  :)
