Old Days

I feel like the mom of a newborn

I am exhausted

 Leah has been getting up every hour

if not every hour,

every other hour

I have resorted to sleeping

in the guest bed with her

which means I get no sleep at all

now I am sick

the kind of sick

where you ache

all the way down to your toes sick

I hope she starts sleeping

through the night again soon

very soon

she is lucky I think she is so adorable

even with bedhead

especially with bedhead

she likes to wrap her arms around me

and tell me she loves me at night

even if it means I get no sleep

I have to admit I like that part of getting no sleep

 her little arms wrapped around my neck

make me smile
