A Good Sleep

This is going to sound weird, but I really love to sleep. I hesitate to say that sleeping is one of my favorite things to do - it sounds like I need medication of some sort - but I really do love it! I love that feeling of nestling down into the warm covers and a soft pillow. I love that weightless feeling you get right before you drop off for a good, deep rest. I love the feeling of waking up on your own ... that first good stretch ... there's no refreshment like it!

Honestly, that was one of the things I most worried about regarding being a new mom - the lack of sleep. And though there have certainly been some sleepless days and weeks, it seems that Benjamin is coming to love sleep as much as his mommy does! Can I get an Amen and Hallelujah?

At this point in the post, I could write something eloquent about how sleep is beautiful picture of trust, peace, and resting in the provision and protection of God, but let's get to the cute stuff about Benjamin - after all, that's why you're reading this blog, right?

He is super super cute when he's trying to wake up - little squeeks, grunts, even a snort or two - stretching his little arms and rubbing his eyes - so cute, my heart could just explode. He used to stretch his little fist over his head and rock it back and forth just like the sign for yes - but i think he may have outgrown that! so sad! If he ever does it again, I've gotta try my best to capture that little gem! Anyway, today I was able to catch a little of video of him waking up - super stinking cute!!

but, who am i kidding? He's super stinking cute all the time!
