Is there is anything sweeter than cradling a sleepy new born head in the palm of your hand? I'm not sure there is.
This weekend I got to meet my sweet and darling new niece, Lucy. I spent as much time as I could holding her, and when she fell asleep on me it opened up that happy part of my brain with all of those happy glowing memories of my own sleepy babies.
Lucy is the fourth child of a beautiful family. Her Momma is busy taking care of a school aged child, a preschooler, and a busy toddler. She's exhausted and has more to do than the day lends time for, yet she's holding her head up high and doing it all like a champ.
It's always amazing to me how quickly I move into the next phase of my life without hardly looking back. It feels as if it was a life time ago that I roamed around my house like a sleep deprived mummy wreaking of breast milk and baby poop, and trying my best to hold my head up like a champ and figure out what to feed the kids besides cold cereal for the umpteenth time in a row for dinner.
So, I had to take a moment today to look back at these precious babies of mine, and all of the sudden it feels like it was just yesterday.
Thank you memories.
Thank you Lucy.
