My daughter is soon to be 16 months old. I have never experienced the intensity of love that I feel for her. It almost scares me!Something else I've slowly noticed, and weirdly enough it steadily intensified along with my bond with her, is that I'm crying at everything now. Pre-kid it would take a lot for me to get emotional but now, not at all. I was home on veteran's day watching daytime TV, some lady and her kids won a trip to see their husband/dad, I sobbed for 5 minutes. Before I would have been like "Huh. Good for them, they deserve it" and flipped the channel. I ran across that clip of Steve Irwin going on and on about his daughter, I bawled. I am constantly getting this way seeing sweet or sad stuff on TV, movies, songs, etc.Can anyone relate? I have never been one to be comfortable showing intense emotions so this is a learning experience for me but I don't mind it. It's added a depth to life I don't think I would have experienced pre-kid and I'm thankful for that. I have to laugh at myself and what a 180 this seems to have caused in the emotional part of me. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/379pdQi
