perchance to dream

all is quiet in the house this morning. a lovely sound to hear. it means darling daughter/momma and the little one are asleep. but I have to say I've never seen sleep deprivation look so beautiful.

yesterday morning I came into the living room to see both of my darlings curled up on the sofa. him, the little bundle of joy, in that delightful fanny-up-in-the-air pose, fast asleep on her chest. tv on low. she told me they spent the night watching 'saved by the bell' reruns. how that brought back memories of when she and I knew the midnight to six am television schedule. how much I missed the bliss of sleep. but more so how much I loved that quiet time between her and I. holding. nursing. rocking. watching. nothing more beautiful that a child and momma can share.

there is plenty of time to sleep. catching up is the easy part. for now. hold on tight.

'aside from new babies, new mothers must be the most beautiful creatures on earth.'
