Well, I sit here while our beautiful baby girls sleeps...we played and read books for an hour and then the little yawns started coming fast and furious, so we rocked and snuggled until she dropped off to sleep. I look at her lying there in her cradle, so perfect and sweet, and realize what a marvelous gift she really is...sent from somewhere in the universe to us to have and hold during her time on earth. I feel so privileged...babies really are amazing creatures. Alex and I were talking last night about how we never really understoond how our parents loved us until we became parents ourselves...the love of a parent for their child is an amazing concept. Well, sniff sniff, now I'm getting all teary, maybe this is enough musing for a Tuesday morning. I just wanted you all to know how very much in awe I am ....I don't think that will every fade. Every day as she changes and grows bigger I feel I am saying goodbye to one more day of babyland, etching it in my memory, and turning to embrace the newest day of growth and learning...amazing.
And hey, last night she slept for SIX hours at a time??? What's up with that! We're not complaining, she's our little angel baby! That was some good stuff...maybe this is why I can actually put together a clear and coherent sentence of musing...hehe. Thanks for the refreshing stretch Abbie-Girl! Now...I'm off to go lean over the cradle and smell her sweet baby smell and inhale her sweet baby breath just one more time...
