Kate wakes up crying at 4am after we all had a late night. I lay down on the spare mattress to nurse her, which she does sleepily before falling back asleep.<\/p>\n
First thought: when did she get so slow at nursing?? Jeez. She was always so quick about it, now I’m impatiently tapping my fingers. She’s especially slow when half-asleep in the middle of the night, of course. (By “slow” I mean it takes her 10 whole minutes, rather than 4 or 5.)<\/p>\n
Second thought: boy am I ever going to miss these cuddles when they’re gone. I love the feel of her curls, her hand pressed to my chest, the sighs. I love the kiss on the forehead I always give her before lowering her into her crib. (I always whisper the same thing, “Good night, baby, I love you.”)<\/p>\n
But of course an hour and a half later I am still not asleep, my stomach unhappy with the two drinks I had yesterday roiling uncomfortably. Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
