A feeling or two

Oftentimes I find that holding my baby is the best feeling in the world. We were just in the park and I was giving her an airplane ride (me reclining on the lawn and hoisting her up on my legs while holding her arms). She looked radiantly happy and when her smile courses through her, it takes all I have not to shout to everyone to look and join me in adoring her. C'mon park-goers.... isn't she a wonder?!

Another good feeling: having a tired baby snuggle into you. It's all there - her warmth, her slackness, her need to be cared for, and her trust in me.

Motherhood is exhausting, but just so very (surprisingly) rewarding.
