In the middle of the night, after feeding Harrison, I had burped him and he had fallen back asleep. I sat there for a few minutes taking in his smell - that soft, sweet, baby smell - and was listening. On one side, Nathan was sleeping - I heard his deep, slow, rhythmic breathing. On the other side (my other shoulder) Was Harrison's soft, quick, gentle breaths. It was so nice and comforting to be between these two patterns. Patterns one would only be aware of after the 2am feeding.
Motherhood does indeed have its rewards, last night it came in the form of my two boys breath patterns in the middle of the night.
We just need to add Leonard's purring to the mix....
