dear mia

i love that your neck smells like sour milk and that you spit up on me right when i get clean clothes on.
I love that you have taught me how to make Willies lunch, get myles out of the bath and dressed with one hand.
You have made me even more excited when your dad gets home from work for a break.
I love that i am your mom and the only one who can get you to stop crying.
I love how my chest feels when you sleep through a feeding.
All the sleepless nights are worth it, because you are healthy and bring me more joy every single day.
You teach me patience, and to be more selfless. Motherhood is a gift, the best gift of all.

However it is only temporary, Willie plans on working for a year or 2 then buying a practice in California.
