Daniel pointed out a sign today at the health food store that boasted:
" Has a delicious nutty flavor" and said:
" Hey Honey! They're talking about you. You're a little nutty!"
So, yeah, I am a little nutty and here's why- I actually look forward to going to bed with my newborn, knowing that she's going to wake me up in approximately two hours, three if I am lucky, to nurse. And I can't wait! We leave the closet light on so I can barely see... and what I see are beautiful eyes looking up into my face with a little tongue that is going a million miles a minute in anticipation. I love snuggling her body close to mine feeling her relax, listening to sweet happy baby sounds.
So call me nutty, call me crazy but I love the night. Sure, I am tired every day but these moments with my tiny baby girl are so fleeting.

I have read you posts for about 4 months, I wish you lived by me, you are the kind of friend that I would love to have next door to me! Congrats on your new baby! Your a good mama and your family is lucky to have you!
Your friend Tonia in Central Illinois
I enjoy those middle of the night feedings also, I can't wait till August :)
BTW, Happy 1 week birthday Eliza, it's about 8:30am now and I get to remember the moment you came into this world.
Yes, they are little for such a short period of time. I can remember those newborn days vividly :o) Enjoy them while you can!
I was just thinking the same thing this morning!
About 5am, Emma was stirring and I was just loving th picture. She was all snuggled up close to my body. Smacking her lips and chewing on her hands. Then watching her nurse as the sun was starting to come through the windows. It reminded me of the miracle we have. Growing and carrying a baby for 9 months then bringing her into the world! Wow!!! And knowing that she gets everything she needs from me. I am sustaininig a life. Thank you God for giving me the gift of motherhood. I love it!!!

I'm one who needs my sleep so those first few months are always super hard for me. You're so right though, those moments are fleeting! Glad you are able to find so much joy in them.
When I nursed Miller....I would love every minute of the night...just me and him...I was tired but alot of times I just sat there and smiled or cried knowing how much I loved to nurse him and how short of time I would have with him doing this....I miss it so enjoy it for me Andrea.
