My heart is very full tonight. I have spent most of these last few snow days the same way I have spent most of the days for the past seven weeks-- cuddled up looking at this sweet face.
There were a few years there where I didn't think it would have the chance to have another baby. I really longed for an opportunity to savor all of those special moments of pregnancy and life with a newborn. I am so grateful for this sweet girl.
And as weird as it sounds, I am grateful for the sleepless nights, and the sink full of bottles to wash and the laundry basket that seems to fill up faster than ever because I am so lucky to have a precious little babe who needs me to love her.
I am so lucky for each day that I get to spend at home with this sweet girl. I am aware that the clock is ticking down I til it is time to return to work. Two of my friends who had babies around the same time I did have already gone back. I haven't even allowed myself to fully process the idea of that yet, although she will be in great hands with my mom or Ryan for the time being.
Being a mom is my favorite job in the whole entire world.
