Borrowed Baby Time

The softest whisper of hair
Covers a cantaloupe head
Balanced oh so wobbly
On a sack o'potatoes you

And when you turn to nuzzle
That little knobby nose
Into my neck as we are
Torso to shoulder

Your baby smell intoxicates
My senses and I drink it in
This is borrowed time
This mommy moment mine...

  1. I love this time when you get all the snuggles you want. People tell me that I should get Tristan used to other people, but danggit, he's my 4th kid, and I love it that he just wants me. I haven't messed any of the other ones up yet and who says you can't love on your baby as much as you want? They grow up too fast. I'm so glad you are enjoying this time!
