I had a really sweet moment last night after I crawled into bed (too late, I’m afraid). As I lay on my side, my body hugged around my belly-friendly tube pillow, waiting for sleep to take over, I felt LB’s weight in my belly. I thought of the baby curling up and falling asleep inside of me and, suddenly, I felt this sweep of love for this little person I have yet to meet. It was a moment of pure sweetness, a welcome window of joy that I desperately needed. Things are not easy today, but this baby gives me hope that the future holds something better.
