for Gloria

It goes by really fast!
And that always made me feel worse, not better, as it felt like pressure to do precisely what I was not doing: being here now. Enjoying the moment. Not a strength. So, I guess, try to remember that this is just a short moment in time. But forgive yourself if you are willing the moment to pass, willing him to grow into a baby who sleeps and doesn’t fuss and talks to you. I did all of those things, and I have forgiven myself for them!
But, Glo, I’m with you in spirit, and sending much love. You will sleep again. The clouds will part. I swear it! In the meantime keep blogging, keep napping, keep cutting yourself some slack … and a soy latte at Starbucks sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
I am so glad we are raising sons together!
