Trouble Sleeping in 2011

Hello Rebekah,

 It is 3 minutes into a new day, Wednesday, August 4, 2011. Tonight I type with one hand and erratically at that. With you… while rocking, shushing and occasionally replacing your pacifier.

You and I have been trying to go to bed since 9pm. Your daddy was in the mix but someone has to get up with Ella. Plus you and i have to get up at 6 to start our nursing schedule because I am working in the morning before I have a job interview….I am stoked about the interview. Even with less than 6 hours sleep. Not ideal, but we do what we have to.

I took us 30 minutes to write that paragraph….Now you are less fussy and heavier, and your beautiful eyes are closed. My sweet angel.

I want you to know, I treasure this moment with you. One day, I may have to barter with you for a quick hug…Like withhold the car keys until you humor me. But only when your friends are not looking, of course. But for now, you cannot get enough of me. So for this moment I am all yours.

And for always,

Mama
