tonight i laid my baby girl down to sleep for the last time.
yeah, yeah, i know. tomorrow she will only be a day older.
but she will be one.
and mamas out there know what i am feeling tonight.
i don’t know if mercy is my last baby or not…which is why i am so thankful that my own mama has been reminding me from day one to enjoy every moment {even the exhausting parts} like they are my last.
so whether or not i have another baby to rock to sleep someday, tonight i took my time snuggling and kissing my baby girl. because i know tomorrow she is going to wake up a little older.
gulp.
goodnight, mercy girl. see you when you are one!
p.s. sorry for the fuzzy phone pictures.
p.p.s. i do realize she is wearing christmas pjs. they are surprisingly thin. and they still fit. so why not?
p.p.p.s. check back tomorrow for a special photo montage of the birthday girl!
p.p.p.p.s. but a little video to hold grandma and grammie over for now
Blurry iPhone photos of wiggling little people are the best. The grandmas get lots and lots of those from us, too. Love what you said about treasuring each moment as if it’s the last. I do the same, same thing.
Happy Birthday sweet Mercy!
