THIS IS BLISS



I sat in my living room today and surveyed the mess.  I was holding my son, and he was sleeping with his head burrowed into my arm-pit and his hand was resting on my chest.  I could have put him down in his crib so I could do my chores, but I loved holding him so much in that moment, that I couldn't bear to do it. 

So I held him for his entire nap, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  I am very aware of how short this baby time is.  I already feel it flying by.  Corwyn is growing and learning so fast.  In ten years, I won't remember the messy living room, but I will remember the times spent cuddling my son when he was small enough to sleep in my arms.  

I seriously have the greatest job in the world.  There are occupational hazards however.  We have Thrush.  Again.  Shit.  (Sorry for the language Mom.)

This post made me tear up a little! I'm making a mental note to remember this wisdom in the future...
