So, so fast
A friend posted a link on facebook the other day, to a blog post entitled 'Left to Cry...Alone' and it almost made me cry.
It really puts everything in perspective, all the hard days, the crappy things about having a baby, as well as the fantastic, joyful stuff.
From the blog post -
I think about this every day, how fast it is going, how one day soon Punky won't want to be near me all the time, and sit on my lap and be rocked, won't fall asleep on my chest or think that I truly am the funniest, best person in the world. It's not fair that it goes so fast, so I have to try and embrace every moment, even the crappy ones because one day soon those moments will be gone and all I will want is them back.
It's true that when I look down at Punky, when she has her head snuggled in to my chest, "Life doesn't get better than in the moment".

From the blog post -
"I will remember the way he would fall off the breast, milk spilling out of his sweet bow-tie mouth, peaceful in my arms, using my breast as a pillow as I quietly rocked him. I treasure those moments that my mother warned me would ruin him. It is in that moment that every other piece of joy in my life shall be measured – and lose. Life doesn’t get better than in that moment.
So please, I beg you…..tonight as you rock your 2 month old baby, praying they would go to sleep, thinking about just putting them down to cry by themselves feeling yourself getting frustrated…take a moment and think about the closed front door I’m staring at while sitting alone in my family room."
