My baby turns 5 months this weekend! I can hardly believe that the time has gone by so quickly. Meanwhile, I need to start figuring out my plan of action for feeding her solids. I am a mother and I still don't know how mothers do it, but I guess that's all of life, just figuring things out as you go along!

I'm holding onto moments
you tenderly holding our baby
you kissing her feet
moments to remind myself of this motherhood bliss
while I watch the shadows
wonder if post-partum depression is lurking there
would I know it if I saw it?
will soaking myself in these moments leave me saturated so that I slip
through its clutches
when it comes to claim me?
will it paint Everly in darkness
so I can't remember this light?
I don't know.
So I'll keep watching the shadows
for now, they stay at the edges
but I wonder
would I notice if they were closer?

You grab onto my hair like a lifeline
a silk rope to tie us together
you fall asleep to violins and clair de lune
only settling down when I come in close
kiss you on the cheek
letting your eyes fall closed as you
watch me through the bars

I hear you
find you in the dim light
mittened arm raised in triumph
escaped your swaddle again
I replace your binkie
walk out to the sounds of pianos
a classical lullaby
because I love them
and I hope you will too.

My heart's melting point
is your smile
Thanks for reading!
