Babies Don't Keep



I cannot believe how quickly those two small lines on a stick have transformed themselves into a perfect little individual; one with her own unique personality and responses to the world around her. I rock my baby girl to sleep at night and am overwhelmed with love for this precious little soul. Sometimes I feel like I am letting these treasured moments pass by and let the stresses in my life overshadow the truly important things. My house is a mess. The kind of mess that requires days of organizing and scrubbing. And the messier it gets, the grumpier I get.

But my mess will be waiting for me tomorrow, just as I left it. And eventually it will get cleaned and scrubbed and everything will be organized and fresh. But my babies won't stay as I left them. They change every day. Growing, learning, developing...

So quiet down chores. I will see you another day. I'm cuddling with my baby...babies don't keep.
