A gurgle

Its not until you are a mother yourself that you feel that your heart may burst with too much love. That your heart will burst because you are missing your little one year old big boy who is now fast asleep at night because he has learnt to completely enjoy himself playing with the older kids at social events. Because he no longer will like you holding him in your godi. He squiggles out and wants to climp the stairs and run around and laugh till his little round tummy will burst. And then he tires when you walk back home from the dinner party and wants mommy and the minute you hold him, he tucks his head away on your shoulder and you tilt your head a bit so that your cheek touches his and you feel very soft and secure. Because the day couldn't end on a more beautiful note.

Then you get home, lay him down and start missing him terribly and you think your heart will burst with the love for him. Nothing parallels the love one has for one's baby. The heart stretches out and becomes deep like never before.

Ahh I know what you mean about missing your baby while they're asleep. Very often I will pray for Squiggles to fall asleep but then when she does I want her to wake up!
