A couple of nights ago, Magda woke up sometime between 4am and 5am. She's really sweet when she wakes up - just quietly moans and groans and kicks her blankets around. Anyway, I dutifully stumbled to her bassinet, changed her diaper (which she generally more vocally protests when done in the middle of the night), and brought her back to bed with me. As I laid down beside her and helped her to latch on, I just had to smile. My whole being was filled with joy and love and excitement to have this beautiful little person in my life. It is that joy and love and excitement and clarity of purpose that I hope to remember thoughout the rest of my days.
