Reading this made smile and really happy for you. I can tell how much your babies love their mommy. Gracie always slept on my pillow at the top of my head. Somehow I got used to a stiff neck many times a week and her somewhat soft bark resonating in my ear. For years Ashley slept across my neck. She fit under my chin as a baby but seemed to like that spot even as she grew bigger. When she got older, she slept in my arms with her head resting in my chest. Kiwi was also closely hugging my body. Although Ashley was the least dominant of the three, they seemed to respect that she was there first (by only four months with Kiwi and a year with Gracie) and let her have her first pick of where she was sleeping. I loved picturing all of your babies sleeping close to their mom. It must be difficult for you to get up when you need to. Often times I'd wait to get up for something when they were sleeping peacefully because I hated to wake them up. As soon as I was back in bed with them, they went back to sleep. I loved seeing them peaceful and content sleeping, especially when they would lie on their backs with their bellies exposed. |
