Good morning, friends! It is 5:00 am on Friday. Normally when it’s my turn to feed the baby I try to stay as asleep as I possibly can so I can put her down and go back to sleep myself. Unfortunately there are the times when she just wants to be held. Right now is one of those times.
And somehow, I don’t really mind. I was just talking to my friend about this last night. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s the second baby so I know what to expect, or if it’s that we are done having babies, but whatever it is, it’s much different this time around.
I’m pretty sure my change of heart is due to the fact that we aren’t having anymore kids. And that Little Bee is a girl. She snuggles, and I love her snuggles. She gets a super sad pouty lip sometimes before she cries and it breaks my heart, but it is SO CUTE. She likes to sleep on me. And I like it!
Boo was the exact opposite of Little Bee. He was, and is, so independent. He rarely snuggled or wanted to be held. It was nice because I’m not a super touchy-feely person, but now that I have a snuggle babe, I kinda like it.
I’m sure a lot of it has to do with knowing that I can’t take baby time for granted. I can’t wait for a consistent schedule but I also don’t want to wish them grown up too quickly.
I miss my sleep and I miss my sanity. Kids will deprive you of both. But I love my babies and I’ve got the rest of my life for schedules, sleep and sanity.
So, good morning. 🙂
