Setting The Bar
While she is admittedly a pretty happy baby, I watch her sleep some nights and can't help but wonder if I am doing something wrong or maybe not enough. Could I be failing her in some way that I am not fully aware of? I know she knows she's so absolutely loved, but "what if"? I feel waves of this sudden rising of guilt when I least expect it. Not often, but some nights, there is a nagging feeling somewhere in the back of my mind and in the pit of my stomach that I am not doing enough. That I am not enough... And it takes all I have to keep from scooping her up and cradling her just to watch the rise and fall of her breath and whisper that I am sorry and not quite know what for.

Aw, I'm sure you're a great mom, and I think Leah knows that :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how in the world does she sleep like that?? Looks like a weird yoga position.
@Jennifer Haha, that's a maybe, and I'm sure you'll find people argue that point.
ReplyDeleteI can watch her forever sleeping with her butt up in the air and arms tucked to the side and see how long it takes for her to move position. I used to curl up on the couch like that and it used to make my feet fall asleep.
