So, Sunday after church, we were really exhausted. After we finally got home we had about 45 minutes of rest time before having to go back for Trunk-or-Treat. Elijah and I laid down and I tried to get a power nap. I felt myself slipping away almost immediately. Elijah, although tired, was not so cooperative. As I laid there, I felt him touching my face, so I could tell I was not going to get any sleep, but I kept my eyes closed anyway. He proceed to pat my cheek and then slipped his hand under my face. I then peeked and saw his eyes were closed and he was just snuggled right there next to me with the cutest smile on his face. I closed my eyes again and then he started whispering..."I love you Mommy" "You are the bestest Mommy ever". It was such a sweet, touching moment. Our minds have been racing all week about our new son and how excited we are about that and everything we need to get done before going to pick him up. At this moment though, on Sunday afternoon, my mind relaxed and it was so nice to just enjoy Elijah. It was awesome to just spend those few moments snuggled with him and thanking God for the years we have had with just Elijah and yet so thankful for the changes to come. Its hard to put into words, but lets just say I cherished that fleeting moment.
