I am finding there is a benefit to the time with Bree being an only child. I realized it when I was reading a post by my sister (over at Blessed Simplicity).
I have time.
Time to focus on just her. Time to hold her safely and gently. Time to sit and play with her - and neglect the chores. Time to rock her to sleep. Time to soothe her when she is upset. Time to enjoy each stage she enters and savor every moment. Time to just watch her sleep ... because sleep smiles are my absolute favorite.
Someday I am going to have 6 kids running circles around me, and I won't have the time or energy to do everything as patiently and gracefully as I do now. I want to enjoy this and enjoy her.
She is our little blessing and answer to prayer. And I never want to forget that.
