After a few super busy weeks, I took a couple hours today to just hold my little Peter. He went from giggly to quietly awake to sweetly slumbering to awake again, comfortably held close to my heart. As I watched his tiny chest rise and fall, his gentle sighs in dreamland, I couldn't shake the thought -
Its just too much. I don't deserve this. This perfect moment suspended in time, silk soft baby skin, sweet breath in and out. Its pure gift.
This Christmas, I've been given everything I could ever have wanted - and so very much more.
he is beautiful Lydia! And yes, you've been given so much - you are blessed!! I've been busy too, and took extra time today to snuggle with Mateo...so worth it!
