Rock-a-bye

I'm drinking in Piper's sweet scent and heavy breathing while she's deeply sleeping in my arms. It's intoxicating. I feel like I missed this with Emberly. Everyone told me how I shouldn't rock my baby to sleep because they wouldn't learn how to go to sleep on their own and you'd still be rocking them to sleep when they are leaving for college and yada yada yada. So I tried to be so careful. And looking back, I feel like I missed out. Cuddle time with Emberly is limited to injuries and sickness and an occasional insecure moment. And I wish I had soaked up every possible cuddly moment.

So new mamas, cuddle that new sweet bambino with no reservations. It goes way. too. fast.
