Somehow

Somehow

between new baby smell and soft hair

colic and naptime

snuggles and the perfectness that is baby love

endless laundry and sleepless nights

bubble baths and dirty diapers

emotional tornadoes and the fight to not give up

your precious new baby

transformed

into a toddler

and you don't know how

or when

this happened

so you crawl into bed with your lil monster

while she's sleeping

and your lips brush her perfect little cheek

and the spark that is felt

is unexplainable

unexplainable perfect love

that only a mother could understand

and you realize that no matter

how old she gets

she will always be your precious baby
