I should be asleep. My eyelids should be closed, mind wandering in restful slumber. But there's a sleeping baby girl on my breast, breathing her soft baby breath, tiny hand gripping mine with all its might. How can my eyes close when they know in a blink she'll be grown? Those perfectly curled lashes and rosebud lips destroy my body's weariness.
These, these are the moments I'd love to bottle up and keep with me always. These are the times I know my life's purpose is to love and protect this precious girl. How can a person sleep with such an important job to do?
You're a GREAT mom...yes, hang onto all the precious moments you can. I love that you've started this blog. You'll never regret keeping this record of your motherhood journey. Never think about your potential "audience" when writing...just write straight from your heart. You can't begin to imagine how much I wish I had such a record of my parenting journey.
