Sometimes, it is worth the loss of sleep to stay awake and snuggle with my baby girl. Awake, I can enjoy fully what a sleeping me would have loved but not been able to experience consciously. Yes, my throat is tired and my eyes are well and ready to close for the night. No, I will not enjoy having to wake so shortly after going to bed (in order to nurse the baby). But yes, it was worth it for this hour totally snuggled up together, her head tucked right into my neck, her arms and legs curved around me. Her body like the heavy weight of a cat that doesn’t want to be picked up.
Thank you, God, for this gift tonight. In your name, we pray. Amen.
