I want to pick my sleeping baby girl up out of her crib so I can hold her a little tighter. I want to hold her and not let go, for I know tomorrow I will have to leave her and return to work.These past 10 weeks have been a blessing to say the least. I have rediscovered just how amazingly beautiful an infant is. I've been shown, yet again, how my love can multiply with another child in my arms. It's something fascinating, really.
One would think that it would get easier after the first child but I believe it only gets harder. It's one more child I'm putting in the care of someone else. It's one more child to miss, worry, and think about all day while we're apart.
I don't think I ever really knew how much I would enjoy being a mommy until we had our first son. It truly is a wonderful gift God blesses us with... to feel a love you never knew existed inside you for something so little and innocent. It is something I wouldn't trade for the world. I know 5:30 am will come too quickly and I'll actually have to care about how I am dressed, and a ponytail will no longer do... so I think I'll take advantage of these next few moments and enjoy just being a mommy. No worrying about what tomorrow will bring or how my days will quickly change... I'm just going to be still and go hold my babies a little tighter :)
