Growing and Changing

Dear Hyrum,

You are growing up too fast! Today you are six days old. Last night I started missing having you a part of me. While your sister was playing in the bath, I snuggled you up on my chest on the couch. You tucked your little legs all the way up to your stomach and curled your body in close to me for warmth. I leaned my head down and gently rested my lips on the top of your head.  Your fuzzy hair tickled my lips as I kissed and cuddled you. Tears stung my eyes and I was overwhelmed with emotions. I suddenly realized how quickly you are going to grow and change. I wanted you to be inside of me again, safe and a part of me. After a few tears, I got control over myself again and enjoyed our quiet moment together on the couch. I know that soon you will be toddling behind your big sister and playing with her. I hope for now you will let me snuggle you and kiss your little cheeks! Please don't grow up too fast.

Love,

Mommy
