What is Luxurious Now

A cup of french press, decaf.
.
A wee napping babe
.
Preparing Sunday's grocery list
.
Missing a full shower in favor of more sleep - yes, they all said this would happen!
.
Breathing through the heaviness of grief and strong emotions
.
Telling O all about Jones and how curious he would have been while rubbing Jane under her chin
.
Jane.
.
Watering all of the plants, begging their forgiveness as I go...
.
Visits from friends
.
Counting the days till my sister arrives, dreaming of three whole days together
.
How huge Anthony's face feels in my hands leaning in for a kiss after a day with a tiny human
.
Breath.
.
Bizarre, bizarre dreams (a taxidermied man who re-animates???) and a baby who slumbers long enough to allow REM sleep!
.
Doc Martin
.
The triumph of an empty sink and a humming dryer
.
Posting here.

xo,
S

Yes, all definitely luxuries! One of mine was reading New Yorker articles in the middle of the night (couldn't concentrate long enough for an actual book).

Oh yes! I know what you mean exactly! It's so comforting reading this and knowing there's someone else out there who is going through the same things. And the weirdness of the big-headed husband! haha! After rubbing my teeny one's head, my husband's feels gigantic.
