it was perfect

when your child is as active as this all day...

there is not a lot of leftover time for cuddling and hugging. in fact, gabe has never been one to allow you to hold him for very long; there are just too many places to go and things to get into.

on sunday, however, we moved a twin bed into his room (so that ezra could have the crib) and that has changed everything. a sleepy gabe will not protest to a little cuddle time, we have found.

so last night, when gabe was excessively fussy and sad (still no idea why), i took advantage of this new opportunity. i laid my big, pregnant self down next to him and enjoyed every second. i held him close and smelled his hair and listened to his steady breath and enjoyed, for one of the last times, being a mama of one. it was perfect.
