I had a perfectly lovely night last night. After the girls went to bed, John went outside to "tinker" (change his motorcycle's air filter). I sat in Ammon's room and held him until he got tired. But instead of putting him in his crib to fall asleep, I kept holding him. Then I didn't want to put him down :) I was listening to a Paul Cardall CD that I LOVE and listened to a lot when I was incarcerated (in the hospital on bed rest). It is so weird to think that was almost six months ago. I was pregnant, my water was broken and my baby wasn't big enough to survive if I delivered. The music was so peaceful and reminded me of the peace I felt in that hospital room. Now, I was sitting in my own home, miraculously holding a baby that might not have been. I wonder where we will be six months from now. I hope I am still listening to Paul Cardall and holding my baby :)

Hmm, how simply and truly wonderful! I love seeing you guys there, with your little guy, peaceful, happy, (exhausted, I relate) :) and loving it!! What amazing times. Congrats for enjoying the journey and best wishes on getting through the mommy-fog of sleep deprivation. Hope you get a bit of chocolate to reward yourself. :) Hugs!
ReplyDeletewe have a bunch of these pics too. They're just so sweet and cuddly that you can't resist snuggling with them (plus, you're usually exhausted.) :)
