Today Leila and I drove to a friend’s house. And almost half way there I caught myself enjoying the view of the mountains, palm trees and the most beautiful blue sky I have ever seen. It was the first time since Leila’s birth that I was able to relax and notice the world around again. I just knew the storm was over. I have no doubt there will be many more stormy days to come, but until then I am going to enjoy the calmness and the quiet coming over from the back seat.
We drove for an hour and she did not make a noise. I was pretty sure she was sleeping. Until I pulled into our parking lot and came over to pull out her seat – there they were… those 2 big blue eyes and a looney toothless smile. And right there and then I almost forgave her for making this:
the only position I can get any sleep these days.
That is classic! You have the look of peaceful serenity; crop out the baby and the keyboard and I’d think you were at the spa! Amazing.
Will we ever sleep again? I know I should be use to this by now…with the 7 kids, but one can never get use to lack of sleep.
Hugs and Mocha,
