Sleepyhead

Jake slept all day today. It may have been due to medications, or perhaps to sheer exhaustion. After all, he has gone through quite a lot in the last week and a half.

There's such an innocence about him when he's sleeping. I wish I could gather him up and put him inside of me and protect him from this cruel world. He's known more pain in his short four months than most will experience in a lifetime. But when he's sleeping, its as if he doesn't have a care in the world. I could watch him sleep forever, but then I'd miss his smile, his bright eyes, and how happy and full of life he truly is.

Sweet dreams, my little bug. Mommy loves you.
