There is this moment that happens from time to time. You know that one where you wish you could store it in a mason jar and open it only when you need it the most. I have been finding myself savoring this special moment each time it happens. I wish I had the power to hold it forever.
Today was quite fun. HMae and I went to see Megan for our weekly physical therapy session. Then Auntie Shauna, Henry and three week old baby Maysie stopped by to play. The boys had fun digging holes in the yard while HMae & Miss Maysie napped most of the time. After nap I bribed Koen with cookies to get a haircut. It was a very fun but very full day.
Then it happened, this moment I am obsessed with. After bath I zip up HMae into her Aden + Anais sleep sack and we settle in to a comfy spot to start what some like to call a "dream feed". Basically I get to stare at her sweet little face, play with her chubby little fingers while she nurses to sleep. I can't explain the feeling very well but I love it. It's almost as if I can stop the whole world for fifteen minutes. No laundry is folded, there isn't a pot on the stove and the house is silent. I can hear every tiny breath get deeper and deeper into a dreamy state of sleep.
I may be obsessed with this moment because I know it will end all too soon. In less than a week I will not be able to offer HMae a "dream feed". Sort of selfish, I know. But I am hoping we will be able to get it back soon after. If not, I know that we will find another moment to call our own.
