Check Yourself

Lauren • 20

Does anyone else have that moment that you have to check yourself? That moment where it’s 3am and your child is crying and has been crying for a while. That moment where he only wants you and all you want is to be asleep because you keep thinking of all the things you have to do tomorrow that you are going to be tired for? And in the middle of the chaos you almost have to remember that your baby is only going to be a baby for so long. That your baby wants you and only you because you are the one person that can bring them comfort. That moment where you have to remind yourself to cherish these moments while they are happening and not just down the road when looking back? I feel like I’ve had a lot of these moments, probably more than I’d care to admit.
