My heart just broke

I subscribe to a number of baby newsletters. I am sure you know the type, "this is what your baby is doing or what you can expect in the next week blah blah blah." While I am doing that, I have Paige, sleeping on my chest being cute and squirming a bit. I just got a comment on my post about enjoying Paige so much and then I read in my newsletter about parental leave.... my heart broke while I remembered that in the US mothers get UP TO 6 weeks...up to... I am not even UP TO taking my kids to school let alone the busyness of working (if I were working). A small tear developed as I imagined having to drop Paige off and not see her for 9 or 10 hours.

These moments and hours are so precious and few and the developement that an infant goes through is beauty in and of itself. How do all the mommas south of us do it?!

While I was getting teary and emotional I was thinking that it's funny that I am writing this blog, it's election night over there and while I was praying for momma's across the line, I saw my heart being put back together and stamped with a maple leaf....gosh I love living here!

I found this from Carole's site

Paige Moments

My favorite moments with Paige are, holding her for hours in my chair while i click around with Lappy. waking up with her cheek on my chest and my daily smile session that comes at random and gets longer everyday.

Lord help me to keep these moments locked away in my memories as Paige grows into the child you've made her to become.
