The other day I was nursing Nora in my parent's backyard post-swim. Her little sweaty body in my arms. Little hand stroking my cheek. Sweetest moments! I always heard moms become pretty sappy and sentimental. It is so entirely true. At least once a day I feel overwhelming love for this tiny being who grew inside me and I birthed gently into this world. I always want to keep that image of my sweet baby sleeping on my chest, sunlight in her hair, the smells of summer all around. It fills me up.
