Motherhood

Crimson Skies by Spring Bunny

 

I’m deep into the season of motherhood. 

My body, my attention, my thoughts, my entire being;

Everything has shifted to make space for this love.

And the love is immense;

Bigger than I imagined.

It has rearranged me from the inside out.

I feel more open,

More tender,

More certain about what matters.

There is something deeply right about being here with you.

About letting this love shape me.

About allowing motherhood to change who I am - or who I thought I was.

Simple Life by Daniela Mlčúchová

It’s past midnight; your daddy and I come to bed. The day is over, the year has turned, and you are here, fast asleep.

Lying down beside you feels like coming home; there’s nowhere else we’d rather be, nothing else we need.

We feel light in these moments. Happy. Our hearts bursting with love and gratitude.

We are so lucky to have you to come back to; so lucky that this is our life, and that we get to be your parents.

We fall asleep next to you, smiling.

If every year begins like this, we are already blessed.
