Maternal aphasia: Weeks Five-Six


It caught up to me. Time. The lack thereof. I wondered when I'd fall off posting weekly, which is really not such a challenging thing. But Jonah is on school vacation, Abe is getting simultaneously more interactive and more demanding and more mercurial, and I am bone tired. I should get ready for bed right now, though getting ready for bed with a new baby in the house is more like being an actor dressing for the evening's performance.

The greatest innovation of the past couple of weeks has to be the smile. The photo above is not even the best example of it - it is strangely resistant to camera documentation. But it leaves its imprint right where it needs to - on my soul.
