Lorelai doesn't really like to snuggle. If she has a choice (and she usually does) she'd much rather be on the floor, or at least on the move in someone's arms. Last night, I got a rare chance to rock my girl to sleep.
She was so sleepy when we got home from dinner. I got her ready for bed and took her back to her room. I didn't expect to rock her, but I decided to give it a shot. She was already so tired, so I didn't think she would fight it too much. And she didn't! She immediately snuggled into my arms and started loving on my shirt sleeve, something new that she's started doing lately. I was in Mommy heaven! I sang and sang to her, picking random Christmas songs and old hymns. I finally put her in her bed so she could stretch out. But not before soaking in the wonderful feeling of my big little girl in my arms. Not before kissing her a thousand times. Not before crying just a little at how incredibly amazing she is. Not before talking to Jesus for quite a while about the kind of Mommy I want to be for Lorelai, and the kind of woman I know He wants her to become.
Jeremy got to cuddle with his baby girl tonight. It was absolutely sweet! We turned off the lights, had our tiny fireplace going, and Christmas music playing over the TV. Lo snuggled up with her Daddy in his recliner, and they both fell asleep. After about 30 minutes, I took her to bed.
What sweet, sweet moments with our sweet, sweet Lorelai. These are some of the moments that I would like to pause. I'm so ready to make these memories with #2 very soon. Before we have time to blink twice, our family will grow from 3 to 4. It's not at all the way I imagined my life...it's better!
