Now 12 hours in your bed
Peaceful alone
Is it weird that I'm sleepless
Empty arms in another room
I miss you

No Regrets
When one's satisfied
It's hard to look back
And wish to change anything
My trauma
The things that hurt
The things that numbed
Happened
But now we're here
Us three
Under the oaks
Nestled in snow
You let me be me
Sharing all I feel
No need to justify
The space I take
I'm wiser now
And we have our family
So no regrets
Just acceptance

When you're overtaken by affection,
you nuzzle my forehead
rather roughly.
We've come so far:
these days I don't worry that you'll
cease to exist.
Once the tiniest speck of hope,
making me finally pray after so long
that you'd still have a heartbeat.
Thank You.

So many ouchy treatments
For your various ailments
Nasal rinse, Tylenol, mouth exercise
Will our home stay your paradise?
Please forgive us once more, little one
When some days are not full of fun
We can't wait for you to feel better
You're our heart, our center

You fit perfectly under my chin
Tall for your age and strong
But still small enough for this,
Your cuddle at bedtime

Freezing rain patters outside
Snow and ice unite
And inside--
Your head rests
Heavy on my arm
Your hand wraps
Around my belly
We fit together
Locked in embrace
Made by one another

New parent jitters, yeah we aren't pro
But max love we give; that we'll never outgrow
My worries are here but I'm confident in you
Healing is coming, you'll feel better sometime soon

Little hands go slap slap slap on the floor
Under your breath an excited oooh
Wiggling faster on hands and knees
Made it to the gate, pulling up to stand, big smile arrives
"Mommy is done with work!"

Dark room with white noise
Labored breathing in the crib
Mom watches, sleepless

Em Biết Đếm
Stuck in my brain
All night can't get outta
Thinking 'bout Cà Phê Sữa Đá
I hope you're getting this
So much nightly osmosis
Possibly wasted on me
But why not? Bánh Mì!

I breathed you into this world
Labor of eight hours only
Deep slow breaths, mostly
Okay, a few cries for help
The occasional whelp
We did it together
Here's my little treasure
I'm proud

60 followers · 29 posts · Server hachyderm.ioWe practice walking meditation together
One, two, ... twelve times across the nursery
I've got you
Bring your attention to my gentle sway
Hear my bare feet on the wooden floor
Creak, slide
Bring your attention to your breath
Notice your belly rising
And falling
There's no hurry
This moment is beautiful
We nurture us
Now you're asleep.

The inspiration came one night
Wish I remembered when or why
I wrote your song
To the beat of imaginary drums
Flows a low slow ancient rhythm
Generations of mothers in me
Sing along
In harmony

Your head, heavy on my breast.
Two hearts beating together.
Let every worry go.
You fit perfectly in our world.
Sleep peacefully, I'm here.
Sweet dreams come true.

You fall asleep so fast
Before bedtime story has passed
There's nothing better than a cuddle
With my baby-comprised puddle
Who after daycare is totally gassed

Melting in my arms
Nothing left to see or hear;
Delicious sleep takes over

He mocks the ugly ducklings
As they paddle for his pleasure
Water-play panto.
Do they not know
He has his muse?
A #swan in black lace
Pirouetting
At the toss of a pretty penny...
