I was originally planning to give this piece a simple title like "Failing Forward" and accompany it with a picture of my less-than-perfect Martha Stewart-inspired attempt at creating something edible in the kitchen. You know, the kind where you almost give up but somehow pull through and end up with something surprisingly tasty. But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs, and tonight turned out to be one of those moments where everything shifted unexpectedly.

After putting our youngest to bed, things got emotional. Really emotional. Tonight wasn't like other nights when he usually settles into his cozy feeding rhythm—suck-and-breathe, suck-and-breathe—turning us both into a puddle of contentment. Instead, he didn't even try to nurse. He just nestled in snugly with his favorite stuffed puppy tucked under his chin. I held him for what felt like forever, rocking gently, hoping he'd wake up and seek comfort. But he stayed asleep, peaceful and serene. It hit me hard—this could be the end of one phase and the start of another. Or maybe he'll wake up soon and go back to his usual early-morning schedule. Either way, it's bittersweet. His buttery-soft forehead, peeking out from under his silky tuft of hair, seemed more precious than ever. I took in every detail of his face, memorizing every tiny wrinkle, every fold of skin, as tears blurred my vision. The sweet smell of his head filled my senses, and I found myself holding him tighter, reluctant to let go. He's growing up so fast, and while the love will always remain, the rituals of these early days are undoubtedly evolving.

As I write this, I can't help but reflect on how quickly time passes. One moment you're holding a tiny, helpless newborn, and the next they're sleeping soundly without needing you quite as much. It's beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. Life is full of these transitions, and while I know I'll cherish every stage, it's hard not to feel nostalgic for the simplicity of the past. Still, I remind myself to savor each moment, no matter how fleeting, because they all add up to form the beautiful tapestry of parenthood.

I guess the lesson here is to embrace change, even when it feels overwhelming. Growth isn't always easy, but it's necessary. And while I may not have all the answers about what lies ahead, I do know that love will guide us through it all. So, for now, I'll hold onto these memories tightly, knowing they'll serve as a reminder of just how far we've come.

Until next time,
