108 Words for Saturday Centus



We didn't snuggle right up to each other while sleeping together - spooning was too sweaty for us, under our heavy comforter. But I liked for our feet to be touching: my foot on bottom, the gentle pressure of yours pressing down from above. And sometimes, our hands would be touching too, above our heads, and I would imagine we made the shape of a Hallmark heart. Sappy, huh? But I did. Your muscles would flex a little just when you were letting go into full sleep. I miss that. Without you around, I sleep like a baby: fitfully and waking up every three hours grouchy and hungry.

    Love that you have written it truly as the statement means: never have I had a baby that slept well ;) So the flipping, flopping, crying, etc is extremely accurate :)
