We both knew. For nine months we'd been preparing. Getting all the things he might need - a home, his own room, clothes, picking out a name, Angie taking such good care of herself and staying fit, babyproofing just about everything and reading books upon books, getting the opinions of trusted friends. All of it was in preparation for this little one's arrival.
Even having his name picked - Freddie Pierre Weasley - Angelina and I were still unprepared for what was going to hit us yesterday. Ang...she, well I'm in complete awe of her power. I always knew my wife was a strong woman, and she would be the most wonderful mother, but seeing her bring Freddie into the world, we're in a magical world and I was stunned by just how powerful my wife truly is.
When Freddie was finally with us, and with the exception of Angie, I don't ever think I've loved someone so much in my entire life. Sight unseen I had loved him, even teased about his active nature every time I could feel him move inside of Angie. I loved him and vowed that I would be a father to him like I'd never aspired to be anything more in my entire life. The love I felt when I saw him for the first time, was instantaneous and all consuming. He is our boy, all the best qualities of Angelina and myself, and somehow, parts of his namesake as well.
I can't stop holding him, picking him up and singing, telling him stories about his aunt and uncles, his grandparents, our past and dreaming of the future. Only hours old and he has me wrapped around his tiny finger already. I never understood, until now what people meant when they spoke of love at first sight. I knew I loved Angelina long ago, but that was a love that was built and grew. Both loves are so precious to me because I know now, what it feels like to have an enduring love, and an unconditional love that hit me like a bludger to the chest.
Freddie is perfection. He has all his fingers and toes, a good set of lungs and is perfect in every way possible. Angelina is recovering amazingly and I'm just...unyieldingly grateful and humbled to be her husband. We should be home in a day or so and we appreciate all the visitors we've had so far. We're very much looking forward to going home and starting our new life as a family and introducing our son to all the wondrous things his world has to offer.
And now, as he stirs in his basinet, my brief amount of time to write this has come to an end. I'm going to let Ang sleep for as long as Freddie will let her. But i believe it may be storytime again, followed by food and a nap.
