A few nights ago Morgen woke up in the middle of the night crying. Normally we let him fuss himself back to sleep but his crying escalated to the point of panic so I went into his room to get him. As soon as I picked him up his entire body melted to mine in a state of total relaxation and exhaustion. I sat down in the rocking chair and took advantage of the moment that my son was calm, still and wanting to snuggle his mommy. We sat in the dark rocking gently for about 15 minutes. Slowly I could hear his breath settle into a normal pattern, I could feel his body slump even further into sleep and I felt the moisture from his drool seeping though the shoulder of my shirt. I was just about to put Morgen back into his crib when I felt little Max wake up. He was suddenly kicking with all his itty, bitty might against my tummy. It was a strange sensation to have one son in a deep slumber against my shoulder and my other son perfectly awake and active moving inside of me.
At that moment I felt total peace.
I know my Max is strong and will be a part of our loving family forever. I know my Morgen will be an example and friend for his little brother. I love my boys. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a mother.
