58 things I thought while rocking my baby to sleep
by Katherine Martin posted in Mom Stories
We've all been there: In a chair, in a room, all alone with your newborn on your chest. She is beautiful. You feel lucky to be pinned down by this warm little body. But you also feel just a tiny bit trapped with your own thoughts. She's trying to fall asleep. You know she will, eventually, fall asleep soundly enough that you can put her down.
But, in the meantime, you wait. And you think, and think, and think some more.
1. Sigh this is so relaxing.
2. These are the moments I'll remember forever.
3. She's so much longer than she was last month.
4. It's amazing how fast kids grow.
5. I wonder if I should sing something...
6. Singing would be distracting. I'll just keep rocking.
7. I'm kind of hungry. When did I eat last"
8. I hope he's making dinner down there.
9. Was that a door creak" If the big kids get out of their beds I'm not going to be happy.
10. I hope he heard that door creak.
11. Quiet. It's quiet.
12. I can?t believe I didn't bring my phone in here.
13. Where is my phone"
14. Please don't let me have put it in the washing machine again.
15. I really wish I had my phone.
16. Seriously, I could be playing Candy Crush.
17. This is taking forever.
18. They are only little once, right" Right"
19. I really should buy one of those sleep books.
20. I think there's a whole book about how rocking is bad or something.
21. If I had my phone I'd buy it right now.
22. Did her eyes just open up"
23. Yup...
