Just a little longer..

Dear Jameson,

Some people have already asked me what my favorite thing about being a mother is.. I never know how to answer that. There's so much.. the unbelievable love I never thought was possible, your smile.. your angelic perfection.. the amazing feeling of being needed so much, blessed that you chose me as your mommy. But I think today, my favorite part of being a mother is being able to rock you. I know that sounds simple, and it is.. but it's beautiful.

When I rock you and you drift off to sleep, the entire universe around me stops. Just for you and me!

With my arms around you holding you safe, my lips on your tiny forehead giving you kisses, my nose buried into your feather hair, drowning in your sweet baby Jameson smell.. nothing is better.

I hum to you the whole time. I make up the songs, they just come to me. They're created for you I guess, somewhere in my mind.. little songs for little tiny you.

Your chest and belly against mine, your legs folded up like a little frog.. feeling your breath, hearing your little angel sighs.. I think this is what heaven must feel like.

Sometimes Daddy tells me that you're asleep, and why don't I put you to bed.. I don't think he can understand this little moment sometimes, and that's ok. So I just tell him, "Just a little longer.."

Just a little longer.. just a little longer..

Love, Mommy
