Musings...

Mondays are 'girls day'. Aidan is in school, and Quinn goes to daycare so it's just Shannon and I.

Well today is a pretty crummy day weather-wise, so Shannon and I are hanging out at home. Actually, she's lounging and I'm running around trying to do laundry, put up some Christmas decorations, etc.

I finished feeding her, and laid her in my lap. I spent the next five minutes just staring at my beautiful girl. She was fast asleep, a little dribble of milk in the corner of her mouth, arms splayed out to the side and her feet dangling off my lap. She was totally relaxed and at peace, and it was so nice to be able to take some time and just watch and stare at this little miracle. I've always thought that babies are the most amazing creatures - it just boggles my mind to think that this little being is the creation of two people. When I look at Shannon it's even more special because I know (or at least I'm 99% sure) that she's going to be our last. To see her smiling, twitching and just lying in my lap blows me away. There is nothing more special than being able to sit and enjoy this moment.

OK - the dryer just buzzed - back to reality!
