Sleepless nights and magical moments

Yes, it's true - you don't get much sleep with a new born around. During these endless night feeds I feel the oddest mixture of exhaustion (last good night sleep was had a month ago), frustration (and never appreciating those good night sleeps!) and adoration as I look down at my little angel - from her softer than soft hair, her cute button nose, her chubby cheeks, her eyes closed in blissful satisfaction as she suckles away making her usual Amaia guzzling and snoozing noises. It's just the two of us while the rest of the world sleeps and I hold her close, studying every inch of her and think to myself how lucky I am. Yes, it's a pain not getting much sleep and yet it's these night hours that provide me with my most magical moments as a mother. I wouldn't have it any other way.
