Once you cross over to life as a mother, nothing is never the same. And, for the most part, that’s a good thing. Now that I know what life is like with Dax Arthur on earth, I can never imagine my world without him. He is my everything.
But, like, I’m tired. Most of the time. Coffee is no longer a luxury but is instead a necessity, the only thing that can get me to sundown without face-planting on the floor.
So many mornings I find myself wondering, Will I ever sleep in again like I did when I was young? And I sigh, looking at my bright-eyed, joyous little ball of 15-month-old chub and think, Probably not but hey, it’s all good.
And then days like today happen, where I feel the morning sunlight on my eyelids and pop them open to find myself awake, alert, and the baby monitor silent, the beautiful un-noise that a sleeping baby makes.
And even though it’s 8am, I’ve “slept in”. Today, this is what I am grateful for.
A few minutes later Dax did wake, happy as can be, and I rushed to his crib to fetch him and bring him into our bed for morning snuggles.
There’s no denying that he’s a cute alarm clock. But it’s nice that he didn’t set himself on Saturday morning.
The best days of your life are happening now while your children are small. Try to enjoy them even if you have to yawn, LOL
Dax Arthur ! I love his name!! The knights of th round table! Perfect!
He is so cute! It gets easier as they get bigger, I remember my sleep deprived days.
