Last night, after feeding, my baby girl got the
hiccups. We finished her 9 o'clock feeding and she was wide-awake.
But instead of handing her off to my parents or husband so I could jump
into bed and get a few hours of sleep, I simply snuggle her up in a
blanket and held her as long as she would let me. She sucked on her
pacifier, looked me in the eye, played with her hands a little, and
rested quietly in my arms.
How lucky and I and how perfect was this moment I just got to cuddle my beautiful, perfect, little two-week-old daughter?
The
sleep I haven't gotten, emails I haven't sent, and thank you notes I
haven't written all took a backseat to this beautiful moment -- these
minutes with my little hiccuping daughter.
