Now that Emerson is 3 months old, we are down to one feeding a night, she and I .
Her hungry crying plea awakens me right around the 4 o'clock hour every night. Last night she slept seven hours straight, which, blessedly allows me to feel almost human again.

You might think I would mind waking to the sound of crying every night, leaving the warmth and comfort of my bed in the wee small hours of the morning to settle into the rocking chair, my daughter at my breast, but I don't.

These moments at 3:57 a.m. will never come again.
