Simply Happy

My first baby, Bailey

When I was younger, I always dreamed of the day when I would be rocking my babies in a quiet moment in my own house, preferably an older, very quaint, house. Little did I know that my dream would indeed come true, but with babies of a different kind. Yes, I'm supposed to be cleaning fast and furious for Aunt Susan's and Uncle Ray's visit later on this week...but who can resist? Desi settled himself on my left hip/leg and Gracie took my right shoulder. We rocked for an hour with sweet puppy breath and breathing. Until recently, I had saved an embroidery project that I bought as a teenager to stitch through pregnancy and hang up in my nursery. It was a poem about a mother enjoying time with her baby. Part of it went like this: "So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep." Luckily for me, my babies keep longer than most. It's a wonderful thing to feel such unconditional love for and from something so little and innocent (welllll...mostly innocent!). All of the babies are in my bed right now, waiting for me to come and try to squeeze in. Sometimes I look like I should be in a crime scene photo, with the way I have to contort myself so as not to disturb the babies! But it's all worth it! Sweet dreams everyone!
