As I walk into the door from a long day's work, Anthony hands me our half-sleeping baby. I hold him, arms lazily wrapped around my neck and body melded to mine, and I melt. Heart and soul. I carefully walk to the rocking chair where I whisper hushed "I love yous" in his ear as I do my very best to memorize the feeling of 19.2 pounds of my baby boy sleeping on me. I know my mind will never be able to replicate this exact feeling so I remind myself to stop stressing that this moment is fleeting and banish the need to memorize it. I remind myself to be in the moment with him, to cherish it with all my heart.
