reclaiming my baby-moon.
July 4, 2010 aniwaniwa
I’ve been so tired lately. But I am not good at doing nothing. I started reading a beautiful book last week but today it lay on my pillow & I had a day of baby-moon. Since the birth of AO I have been full steam ahead but lately my body is telling me to rest. Today I watched AO breastfeed, I looked at the colours of her hair & stroked her soft head. We played with each others hands & I listened to her sounds. We stared in each others eyes & I watched as she fell asleep, twice so far today. We breathed together.
I have decided to do this more often & to reclaim my baby-moon that was lost in an International move. One day here, one day there, I reckon I’m owed at least 4 weeks of peaceful days in bed with my newest baby.
