Savoring

She lays, in the nook of my arm, in a total mama's milk coma.  Her arm relaxed to the side with her petite hand spread wide open.  She is just so tiny, and perfect.

And breathtakingly beautiful.

So I am sitting, with my feet up, enjoying and being present for this moment.  I try to tell myself, just until 9:20pm, then I will get up.  I will lay her in her crib, tuck her favorite pink ruffled blanket under her arms, kiss her tiny nose, and whisper sweet dreams Joviebug.

 
There are insurance plans to choose, classes to enroll in for work, toys to pick up, dishes to clean, sleep to obtain.

But 5 minutes turn into 10, and then soon it is 10pm, and I am...we are...still here.


Because it was just yesterday I was here, savoring this with Ryker, today he went to his 2nd day of preschool.

And so I have a messy house.

These precious moments are escaping too quickly.
