the gift
12:01 AMI feed her.
Snuggle in the rocking chair a little extra time.
I tell myself it is to make sure all the burps are out, but it is really just because I love the warmth of her tiny body against my chest as we rock back and forth.
It's time. I head back to the bedroom with a small blanket and begin to carefully wrap.
First I smooth it out, then begin to fold it just so.
I place her carefully in the center.
Position the tiny arms gently at her side,
and wrap.
And the moment strikes me- I am wrapping my gift.
Precious.
Unexpected.
Perfect.
Tiny.
Wrapped.
Beautiful.
